Leper to Liberation: Naaman's Inner Story

Neville's Inner Vision

Naaman is not a person apart from you, but a state of consciousness you inhabit when you boast in titles and deliverance. The passage calls him great, honorable, a mighty man, yet afflicted with leprosy—an inner condition wearing the clothes of power. The 'LORD had given deliverance unto Syria' reads as your inner providence granting outward success to the image you hold about yourself, until the leprosy exposes that your claim to wholeness is still haunted by a belief in separation. In Neville's method, the remedy is not external, but a revision of consciousness. You must acknowledge the one I AM within, assume health and cleansing as your present state, and feel the reality of that which you wish to be. The leper becomes a signal to consent to your true identity as God-aware being; healing begins when you abandon the sense of lack and rest in the certainty of the I AM. Providence then guides you to health, not by removing a disease from your body, but by awakening you to your oneness with God.
