Neville Goddard on Mark 6:51-52 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 6 in context

Scripture Focus

51And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

52For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

Mark 6:51-52

Biblical Context

Jesus calms the wind on the lake as the disciples marvel; the text notes their hearts were hardened and they did not grasp the prior miracle of the loaves. The scene contrasts external shock with inner perception.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a parable of your own inward weather. The wind and waves are the outward thoughts that whip through your consciousness; when you enter the ship of your imagination and refuse to fear, the storm subsides as a statement of fact. The disciples’ amazement reveals a mind still bound to appearances; they marvel at effects while neglecting the greater, inner provision signified by the loaves. In Neville’s terms, the loaves are the abundant, already-given imagination within you; the miracle is not in the feeding but in your recognition that God, the I AM, is always present as the Life behind every sensation. The heart that is hardened is a stubborn belief that you are separate from Power; when you soften that belief and align with the inner Presence, the external storm ceases to dictate your state. The lesson: awe and fear are states, and you can revise them by assuming the feeling of peace and continuity in spite of appearances, until your inner world mirrors calm.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of inner stillness now: 'I AM the calm that stills every wind.' Then revise the scene by affirming already-present inner abundance as your loaf.
