Neville Goddard on Mark 5:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 5 in context

Scripture Focus

6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

Mark 5:6-7

Biblical Context

In Mark 5:6-7, the demoniac sees Jesus from afar, runs to him in worship, and proclaims Jesus as the Son of the Most High, begging not to be tormented. This scene reveals the struggle between fear and recognizing divine presence within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the scene is not a distant event but a mirror of your inner state. The figure running toward Jesus symbolizes a rising impulse to turn toward the one Life within. The demoniac’s cry, 'What have I to do with thee?' is the ego clinging to separation, attempting to command the divine through fear. The moment of worship—falling at Jesus’ feet—marks your decision to acknowledge the Presence that is always here. Jesus, the Son of the Most High God, is your inner King—the I AM that asserts sovereignty over every thought that would torment you. The presence of Jesus dissolves the inner chattering; the fear-speech 'I adjure thee by God' yields to quiet alignment. In Neville’s terms, this is not history but your current state of consciousness: you either let the 'unclean spirits' rule you or you consent to the authority of your own awareness. The true worship is obedience to the I AM, not to fear, and that royal presence is your birthright now.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise your state by assuming you are the I AM. Greet the inner Jesus and declare, 'You are my Presence; you torment me not,' feeling the authority dissolve fear as you rest in that realization.
