Acts Vision of Inner Cleansing
Acts 11:5-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter, in Joppa, sees a vision of a sheet with animals and is told that what God has cleansed should not be called common; the vision, repeated thrice, expands his sense of who belongs in God's covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the quiet of your own awareness, this scene is not about animals but about your inner menus and judgments. The sheet descending from heaven is your stream of consciousness, a vessel drawn through four corners—your four quarters of attention—bringing a message that no content is intrinsically separate from your I AM. When Peter says, 'Not so, Lord,' he embodies the old refusal to permit certain ideas to enter his mouth; the reply, 'What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common,' declares a new premise: divinity has purged every belief you once labeled dirty, and you are asked to accept it as already real. The repeated threefold action signals your habit pattern—you can revise any boundary you have accepted in mind. The vision asks you to eat of what you once resisted, to take into yourself the entire spectrum of life as belonging to your present consciousness. This is the shift from covenant loyalty to universal inclusiveness: your scene expands from 'us' and 'them' to the one Self that dwells as all beings. Practice this by acknowledging that what you once deemed unclean is already cleansed in your awareness, and invite it into your sense of self as real now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes; imagine a great sheet lowering with every creature and possibility. Declare, 'What God hath cleansed, I call mine,' and feel the shift as this truth becomes your present reality.
