Inner Protection of Belief
Mark 9:42 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage warns that harming those who believe in Jesus is a grave offense, and it speaks to guarding the vulnerable beliefs within your own consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the little ones are the tender beliefs and childlike faith that move within your I AM. Offending them is not a betrayal of strangers but a denial of your waking awareness. The millstone and sea symbolize the gravitational consequence of disbelief, the moment you judge or diminish a belief you once held sacred, you sink your sense of reality. Remember God is not an external judge but the I AM, the aware sky in which every inner movement passes. To offend belief is to refuse the vision of yourself as the one who believes; you cast doubt outward and thereby shrink your world. The only true judgment is aligning your present assumption with the truth you seek. If you desire mercy, revise your state to see no separation between you and the little ones, between faith and its fruit. So you must, in imagination, let the I AM surround every belief and feel it real that all sincerity is safe, cherished, and already true.
Practice This Now
Practice: Close your eyes and assume the feeling that the I AM surrounds every belief; revise any urge to judge or harm faith by declaring I guard the little ones in me and I am the I AM.
