Questioning the Inner Scribes
Mark 9:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus arrives with his disciples, finds a crowd and scribes debating around them, and he immediately asks what the dispute is about. The scene invites us to look inward, where inner beliefs shape outward appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
Mark 9:14-16 presents the inward scene behind every outward event. When you, as the I AM of awareness, arrive at your life’s crowd of thoughts, you meet the scribes of doubt and the dazzling multitude of appearances, all questioning your right to your own experience. The crowd’s astonishment and the people’s salutes reflect not their power but your awakening attention. The question posed by the moment is not a command to judge others; it is a summons to inquire into the question you carry in your mind about yourself. What belief, habit, or memory is crowding your awareness and drawing the scene you observe? By recognizing the crowd and the scribes as inner dispositions—states of consciousness—you gain the power to revise them with the assumption of your elevated I AM. The outer world bows to the inward state you support. When you insist, in feeling, that you are the undivided consciousness that creates and preserves form, you dissolve the sense of separation and invite harmony into the field you watch. The moment you believe, you are.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the role of the I AM and revise the inner scribes by affirming one unshakeable belief about yourself. Feel the truth of that state until it replaces the old question.
