Inner Sheet Vision

Acts 10:11-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 10 in context

Scripture Focus

11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
Acts 10:11-16

Biblical Context

Peter sees heaven opened with a sheet of various animals and is told to eat, challenging old boundaries. The scene invites a move from external purity rules toward inner acceptance and expanded awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the heaven opening, the great sheet, and the voice are all within your own consciousness. The four corners pinning the sheet symbolize the four faculties and beliefs you have long separated: memory, imagination, emotion, and will. When the command rises—What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common—it is a decree of your I AM, your measuring-essence, that nothing in you God has called clean should be denied in your life. Peter’s hesitation shows the old habit of labeling parts of yourself as common; the repetition that follows is a wake-up to your inner authority: you may, by pure intent, redraw boundaries. The vessel descending again and again is your willingness to receive a broader identity, a life where you eat of all faculties and desires as divine provision. The vision is not about dietary rules but about expansion of consciousness, grace, and mission—an inner invitation to witness more freely through a wider, united self.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in imagination, place a sheet before you. Say, What God hath cleansed, I call clean, and feel the expanded self receiving every gift.
