Inner Eye Opens to Light

Acts 26:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 26 in context

Scripture Focus

18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Acts 26:18

Biblical Context

Acts 26:18 describes awakening the mind: moving from darkness to light and from bondage to Satan to life in God, so forgiveness of sins and a sanctified inheritance come through faith.

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture speaks to the states of consciousness I inhabit. 'To open their eyes' is not about a literal eyelid, but a decision of the mind to leave fear behind and rest in the light of I AM. When I affirm 'There is only God in me,' the 'darkness' dissolves and my attention turns toward the light. The 'power of Satan' signifies the old belief of separation; I revise it by dwelling in faith in the I AM within, thereby dissolving guilt as a false perception that can be corrected by a single assumption. The phrase 'forgiveness of sins' refers to releasing mistaken beliefs about lack, guilt, and separation; as I abide in truth, those beliefs lose their grip. 'Inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me' becomes the realization that my true estate is a consecrated consciousness—sanctification is achieved by faith in the I AM present within. The practice is simple: assume the state of being already enlightened, and let that state transmute every experience here and now. This is not a future promise—it is my immediate waking of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In quiet, assume the feeling of your mind already opened to light; declare, 'I am the light of my world,' and dwell in that truth for a minute. Let the sense of forgiveness and rightful estate reveal itself in the next moments.
