Unburied Dead, Living Self
Revelation 11:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Revelation 11:9 speaks of people seeing dead bodies for three days and a half, refusing to bury them, symbolizing a period where old images or states are visible but not yet laid to rest.
Neville's Inner Vision
I tell you the 'dead bodies' are not persons or things, but the images your mind once clung to—lack, fear, anger, a worn self-image. To 'see' them is only to acknowledge what your I AM is already not. The three days and a half are a symbolic interval in consciousness, a window in which these old forms remain visible as thoughts, not as fixed reality. The command not to bury them means you do not fight them with more imagery or strain; you simply behold them with quiet awareness while you press into a new state of being. The crowd of nations in the text is the universal reach of your inner life—every facet of your self seeing the truth you choose. Once you sustain the feeling that the living Self has arrived—already entire, already complete—the outer signs follow, gently rearranging circumstances to match your inner state. The key is simple: live from the end, until the end becomes your present.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, visualize the three days as the lingering appearance of old images; then revise by declaring: I am the living Self now; feel and hold that state as real for several minutes.
