Blotting the Inner Record
Colossians 2:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Colossians 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Colossians 2:14 speaks of blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us and taking it away by the cross.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard’s mode, the handwriting represents the memory of separation and guilt you have accepted as real in your mind. The cross is not a historical event; it is your inner decision to end identification with the old law of lack and condemnation. By assuming a higher state of consciousness—the I AM that you are—the so-called ordinances are blottered out and taken out of the way. You no longer permit the past to govern the present; you rewrite the script by feeling the wish fulfilled here and now. Forgiveness arises as inner alignment, not as an external pardon, and reconciliation occurs as the mind rests in its unity with God. The events you observe then reflect the new state you consciously inhabit, rather than an old debt remaining unpaid. The verse invites you to operate from inner reality, letting the external world echo your revised self.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and repeat, 'I am free now.' Visualize blotting out the handwriting of ordinances and nailing it to the cross of your inner awareness, then rest in the felt sense of the new state.
