Inner Kingdom Exile Revealed
Matthew 8:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage speaks of people who think they belong to the kingdom but are cast into outer darkness, experiencing distress. It points to an inner misalignment of consciousness that looks like judgment from without.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this saying, the 'children of the kingdom' are not a distant audience but a part of your own self that imagines itself separate from the I AM. Outer darkness is the felt state when awareness forgets its unity and clings to fear, lack, or status. The gnashing speaks of the inner resistance that arises when truth dawns but is resisted. The law is intimate: to enter the kingdom you must stop seeking it outside and begin living from the inner awareness that you are the I AM, the kingdom now. When you assume the feeling of your essential wholeness and revise your self-image to include, not exclude, you, the external world rearranges to match that inner light. The moment you declare, 'I am the kingdom within,' you displace the old exclusion and invite a new unity that dissolves the darkness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a few breaths, declare: I am the kingdom within. Then close your eyes, feel the inner light, and imagine stepping through an inner door into a space where you know you belong.
