Arise Within: Talitha Cumi

Mark 5:41 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 5 in context

Scripture Focus

41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
Mark 5:41

Biblical Context

Jesus takes the damsel by the hand and speaks, 'Talitha cumi,' awakening her to life. The scene pictures consciousness reviving a dormant life within when the word of truth is spoken.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this moment, the damsel is a dormant life within your own consciousness, waiting for a word that awakens it. The hand you feel upon your chest, the voice that speaks 'Talitha cumi,' is the I AM—the sense of being that you are. When you hear 'arise,' you are not commanded to do something far off; you are reminded that you are life itself, already alive, waiting to recognize itself. The miracle is the lifting of a state from sleep into vivid presence, accomplished by belief in your own inner authority. The story invites you to refuse the appearance of death in your circumstances and to revise them with a single conviction: I am, therefore I awaken. Imagination acts as the hand that calls forth life; your assume-and-feel-it-real becomes the kiss of awakening that returns vitality and wholeness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the I AM extending a hand to a dormant part of you and saying, 'arise.' Then feel that life returning to your body as you dwell in that assured presence.
