Inner Readiness, Inner Door
Matthew 25:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Those who are ready enter with the bridegroom; those who are not miss the moment when the door is shut. The moment is inner, not an outward schedule.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this parable you are not a spectator but the subject of the drama. The bridegroom stands for your I AM—the awake consciousness that says I AM, I exist, I am. The marriage points to the inner state when you have chosen to align with that I AM, to dwell in the fullness of acknowledged being. The march to buy is the mind chasing outward wants, a belief in lack, a delayed sense of self. When the inner state of readiness is achieved, the door opens and you enter with him into the feast of being. The shutting of the door merely marks the boundary between an old, unprepared self and the new, recognized you. This is a universal law: awakening is a revision in awareness, not an outward schedule. Your present feeling is the proof of your readiness. You do not wait for a future moment; you are the moment of entry. Focus on the assumption that you are already in the marriage, and the world will adjust to that state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and assume 'I AM in the inner marriage now' until that feeling is vivid. Then revise any sense of delay by affirming, 'The door is open to me.'
