Inner Leaven And The Call To Truth

Galatians 5:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
Galatians 5:7-9

Biblical Context

Paul notes you once ran well, but a persuasive idea—not from God—hinders obedience to the truth; a little leaven taints the whole lump.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ye did run well is spoken to the I AM within you, the one who has run the race of truth. The hindrance spoken of is not fate but a subtle belief, a persuading thought that pretends to care for you while severing you from obedience to the truth. A little leaven, in this reading, is a tiny assumption of limitation—enough to spread through the lump of your consciousness and alter the whole sense of being. The call is not external but your own higher I AM inviting you into a more fixed identification with the truth you already are. The remedy is internal: assume the end you desire as already yours, revise the mistaken persuasion, and feel the truth as your living reality. When you believe you are one with God and free from the leaven, the between-world movement dissolves and you align with the answer you seek. Your imagination becomes the instrument by which awareness becomes form; by dwelling in this new state, you discover the hindrance dissolves as a shadow vanishes in light.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the end you desire as already yours. In a moment of stillness, feel the I AM as your sole reality and revise the hindering belief until it loses power.
