Inner Vision, Unclean No More
Acts 11:7-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter hears a heavenly command to eat, then resists, claiming nothing common or unclean has entered his mouth. The heavenly answer reveals that what God has cleansed should not be called common.
Neville's Inner Vision
Peter's vision is not about food but about the state of consciousness that calls clean and unclean. The heavenly command appears as a prompt from your own I AM to arise from limited dietary laws of fear and preference. When you resist, you reveal the stubborn belief that certain people, conditions, or ideas are 'unclean.' The voice returns: What God hath cleansed, call not thou common. Therefore, cease labeling any part of your life as outside the divine—recognize that your inner vision has cleansed it already. The threefold repetition is the mind's insistence to revise; as you entertain the new assumption, the habitual 'mouth' of your thoughts begins to speak new nourishment: inclusion, acceptance, and unity. You are not commanded to modify the outer world, but to change the inner boundary lines by which you judge what is acceptable. In your present moment, you can hear the voice and answer, 'Yes, I am clean, and my world answers accordingly.' Imagination is the instrument by which God speaks; by feeling it real, you authenticate the cleansing in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being already cleansed; declare quietly 'What God hath cleansed, I call clean' and imagine the new, inclusive boundaries in your heart.
