Mark 10:32 · World English Bible
They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
Jerusalem is the inner place where the great change happens, and the road up to it is the ascent within, the movement from the man ruled by his senses to the man who awakens as the creative power itself. Jesus, your own human imagination, goes before, because the imagining always leads and the outer self follows after.

MANIFESTATION
Jerusalem is the inner place where the great change happens, and the road up to it is the ascent within, the movement from the man ruled by his senses to the man who awakens as the creative power itself. Jesus, your own human imagination, goes before, because the imagining always leads and the outer self follows after. Amazement and fear come because the ordinary man dreads the death of who he has been, and this climb asks exactly that.
What is told the twelve is that the imagining must be handed over, felt as real, seemingly buried, and then raised in the world as fact. This is the pattern in every person, not a single event long ago. A state assumed and lived from is crucified into the flesh of your life and rises there. The self that says I am is walking that road now, and the outer man, half amazed and half afraid, is being led to his own awakening.
Manifestation lens
What in me is afraid because it knows it is being left behind?
The old self has to give way before the new one appears. Something in us dreads that, and dread does not mean we are off the road.
Die before you die, and what is left is the part that was never afraid. The ache of that letting go is the door, not a warning.
Fear comes up right at the edge of real change, because the self being loosened is the one doing the fearing. Keep walking with it.
