Ascension of the Inner Witness
Revelation 11:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The witnesses receive the Spirit of life, stand on their feet, and fear falls on those who see them. A heavenly voice invites them to come up, and they ascend into the sky.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the three and a half days are an inner lull—an interval of stillness in which the life of God awakens within your consciousness. The Spirit entering them is the I AM moving through your imagined self, giving vibrancy to otherwise inert habit and fear. Standing on their feet represents a renewed alignment of your entire being with a single, attentive awareness. The fear that falls upon onlookers is the natural reaction of a consciousness startled by its own shift, not punishment but detection: your former identity is witnessing its replacement. The voice from heaven is your inner conviction, the command of the higher self to rise into a greater horizon of memory and possibility. To ascend in a cloud is to move in the imagination into a higher state of awareness; the cloud embodies the unseen, yet felt, cover of spiritual realization. Your enemies, mental resistance, now behold the transformation you have already authored within. The scene is once more your inner drama, resolved by the power you choose to feel and affirm.
Practice This Now
Tonight or on waking, close your eyes and declare you are the life of God entering you now. Feel your inner body rising as the witnesses, and let fear dissolve as you imagine ascending in a cloud.
