As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
The mountain: the chains a mind has believed into place, immovable only while belief is left on them and gone the instant belief is withdrawn
Christian Psychology lens · Matthew 17:19
He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

A mind that has glimpsed its own radiance is told to hold the vision quietly, for what has been shown on the height cannot yet be spoken in the valley where fear still teaches. The awakened Self within must first rise fully in awareness before its light can be given without being turned into another idol, another story the ego collects to prove itself special.
Silence here is not concealment but ripening. What the mind has seen is real, and it waits only until the belief in death has been undone within, so that the sharing carries the resurrection itself and not a rumor of it.
The smallest living seed of trust in the awakening self outweighs any mass of doubt. The mountain is no hill of stone but the piled-up obstacle in consciousness, the fixed problem that seems immovable to the flesh. The mustard seed is the tiniest spark of inner conviction, and because it is alive it grows and shifts what the reasoning mind cannot budge. Let even a grain of that faith take root and the towering block dissolves. What the material self calls impossible is only unbelief hardened into rock.
