Parables as Inner Openings
Matthew 13:34-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus teaches the crowd in parables, fulfilling the prophecy that hidden truths would be spoken in symbols. The outer narrative points to inner, timeless realities that are kept in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Parables are not casual stories but the living language of your I AM. The crowd is your outward self, the surface you present to life; the parabolic method signals that truth enters your awareness through symbols. When you accept that Jesus spoke in parables to reveal inward realities, you are aligned with the idea that all life is a function of your states of consciousness. The line about opening the mouth in parables is the vow of consciousness to translate inner knowing into form by imagination, not by striving. The “things kept secret from the foundation of the world” are the timeless truths already present in your mind, awaiting your recognition. As you revise your assumptions from this inner level, you begin to utter the conditions of your life from within, and form follows faith. Therefore, truth is reliable to the degree you dwell in the I AM, and faithfulness means persisting in the assumption until the outer world reflects the inner certainty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Pick a present issue. In a quiet moment, imagine you are the I AM speaking within, and feel the fulfilled state as already real; then repeat, 'This is done' until it resonates.
