Tabernacles Of The Inner Self
Mark 9:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter suggests building tabernacles to honor the sacred moment. The disciples are afraid and do not know what to say.
Neville's Inner Vision
Peter's remark is not a plan for architecture, but a sign of the state of consciousness seeking to pin down the living Presence. The 'here' is your current awareness, and the three tabernacles signify mind-made frames—ego, memory, and tradition—trying to fix a revelation by external signs. Their fear is the voice of the old self resisting the unknown within. Neville would say: God is the I AM, and the thunderous voice that comes from the cloud is your own awareness affirming, This is my beloved Son here and now. The true worship is not external ceremony but the recognition that the Presence fills all, dissolving the hunger for walls and markers. When you feel drawn to set up a shrine, notice that you are being invited to dissolve it back into living consciousness. The remedy is simple: assume you are already in the state you seek, and dwell there with unwavering certainty until the feeling of separation vanishes and union remains.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and silently declare I AM here now. Feel the oneness until fear dissolves and the Presence remains.
