Silent Mercy Awakening
Matthew 15:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A Canaanite woman pleads for mercy for her daughter. Jesus remains silent, and the disciples urge that she be sent away.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the surface, a cry for mercy from a mother outside the chosen circle, followed by a hush from the speaker and the babble of the requesters. But in the inner realm, the scene is pure psychology: the woman’s plea is a state of longing—an image the I AM wants to honor. Jesus’ silence is the inner pause where your old definitions pause and yield to a greater movement. The disciples’ urging to send her away is the chorus of doubt, habit, and social pressure within you. Yet the I AM, your true self, notices that the cry persists, not because an outer event forces itself, but because consciousness itself chooses a new form. Mercy is not given to you from without; it arises from your own awareness that you are loved and complete. When you hold the conviction I am mercy; I am beloved, the phone lines of fear fall away and the desired healing registers as already existing in your inner kingdom. The daughter’s vexation becomes a symbol of your own inner disturbance dissolving in the light of being.
Practice This Now
In a quiet moment, assume the inner stance: I am mercy; I am beloved. Sit with that feeling until it feels real, and then imagine the issue healed as already done within your inner kingdom.
