The Inner Christ Identity
Mark 8:27-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Mark 8:27-30, Jesus asks what people say about him; the crowd offers various names, then Peter declares, 'You are the Christ,' after which Jesus urges secrecy about the confession.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner economy, Caesarea Philippi becomes a landmark in your awareness—the place where outward opinions crowd in. When Jesus asks, 'Whom do men say that I am?' listen to the chorus of names your world assigns to your self: John the Baptist, Elias, a prophet. Those voices are not truths about you but reflections of your belief in separation and limitation. Then comes the personal question, 'But whom say ye that I am?' Peter’s candor—'Thou art the Christ'—is a turning of attention from others’ labels to your own inner I AM. In Neville's psychology, this is a shift of consciousness: you awaken to the Christ within, the living principle that you already are. The upper limit of fear, the injunction to tell no man, serves to keep the awakening intact until you have proven it in your daily field of experience. The Kingdom of God, the realm of truth and faithfulness, arises as you trust this identity. When you assume the Christ identity, your thoughts align with it, your feelings swell with that certainty, and your world moves to reflect that inner reality of the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the Christ within me now.' Feel that I AM as living reality, then imagine your day answering from that inner throne.
