Inner Damascus Awakening
Acts 22:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul asks, 'What shall I do, LORD?' and is told to rise and go into Damascus, where further instruction will be revealed. He enters Damascus blind to the light, guided by companions.
Neville's Inner Vision
I hear the scene as a map of the inner man. When you cry, 'What shall I do, LORD?' you are naming the I AM as the living director of your consciousness. Arise, and go into Damascus is not a call to a city but an invitation to shift your state of awareness into a new neighborhood of your mind where purpose wakes. The 'glory of that light' that blinds him is the dazzling light of consciousness that makes old modes of sight impossible, forcing reliance on inner guidance. Being led by the hand of those with me signifies the unseen faculties within you—imagination, memory, intuition—leading you safely through the dark into the new Damascus. And arriving there, you are told of 'all things which are appointed for thee to do'—not as external commands, but as discoveries disclosed when you hold the assumption that you are already where you are meant to act. In this reading, heaven is a present state of awareness, and the mission unfolds from within as you persist in feeling it real.
Practice This Now
Ask within, 'What shall I do?' Then picture yourself in vivid light walking into Damascus. Guided by an inner hand, feel the first action already forming.
