Swine, Demons, and Inner Freedom
Mark 5:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Mark 5:11-13, a herd of swine near the mountains is possessed by unclean spirits; they beg Jesus to enter them; He permits it; the spirits enter the swine and cause the herd to rush into the sea and drown.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the scene unfolds not as a distant miracle but as a living map of consciousness. The swine are not beasts to fear; they are portions of your mind, a collective state you have tacitly believed could carry and express your thoughts. The devils are your fears and false assumptions you have allowed to rule a mood or habit. When you permit them to enter the swine, you are acknowledging that a thought-form can be energized by feeling. Jesus embodies the I AM—the unwavering awareness that says, 'Let it enter' to reveal the truth that energy moved through form is not lost but redirected. The herd’s plunge into the sea symbolizes energy returning to the sea of consciousness, dissolving the old pattern. The two thousand points to the multiplicity of states within you waiting to be transmuted by your choice of attention. By this reading, liberation comes when you observe, revise, and refuse to resist, holding the vision of the inner kingdom where fear is only a passing visitor.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively assume the state, 'I am free from this fear.' See the fear entering the swine of your imagination and being carried into the sea, dissolved by the vast consciousness; rest in the feeling of liberty now.
