The Beginning Of Sorrows Within
Matthew 24:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 24:8 presents sorrows as the first signs of a coming transformation, not the end, signaling the birth of a new inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
All events and outer troubles are the movements of your inner consciousness. What you call sorrow is the body of a transition you are already imagining into existence. If you insist that you are separate from change, you remain bound to it; if you awaken to the I AM within, you realize you are the imagination by which life is formed. The 'beginning of sorrows' becomes the birth pangs of a renewed you—a state of consciousness that does not fear upheaval but uses it as a herald of something new. The world you observe is your dream awakened by attention; revise the dream by assuming the state you desire and feeling it real until your inner sense confirms it as present fact.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and silently affirm: I am the I AM, the power through which all things are made real. Then dwell in the feeling of the fulfilled state as if it is happening now.
