Neville Goddard on Acts 10:27-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 10 in context

Scripture Focus

27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

29Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

Acts 10:27-29

Biblical Context

Peter enters the house and finds many gathered, then clarifies that calling any man common or unclean is not the law. The inner meaning is that separation dissolves in consciousness when grace awakens.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter's reception and his words reveal a hidden teaching of the kingdom: what you call unclean in others is only a belief arising within your own mind. The outward Jew and Gentile are but symbols for two states of consciousness; when the I AM awakens to unity, there is no longer any 'other' to separate. 'God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean' becomes a supreme instruction to revise your identity, not a commandment to obey externally. The phrase 'as soon as I was sent for' is the working of grace within you, the inner assignment that appears when your heart is aligned with the truth of oneness. The law of separation yields to the law of grace and favor, and your covenant loyalty rests in recognizing the whole world as the self’s manifestation. In this light, every encounter is an invitation to revise belief, to feel the reality of unity, and to move forward with the confident impulse of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In the next conversation, assume you are already in perfect unity with the other. Revise the belief of separation by declaring, 'I do not call any man common or unclean,' and feel that truth as a warm, living reality in your chest.
