The Inner Leaven Expands the Whole
Galatians 5:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Galatians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Even a small inner belief acts like leaven, altering the whole lump of consciousness. What you accept in your mind as true becomes your outer experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the mind as dough and the I AM as the leveraging yeast. A tiny inner belief, once accepted as true in your consciousness, begins to permeate the entire lump of your life. If you dwell upon limitation, fear, or guilt, that state spreads through every circumstance and relationship. But the opposite works just as surely: if you quietly assume a new state—presently complete, loved, and sufficient—the whole lump rises to that level. Galatians 5:9 teaches that leaven, though small, determines the whole, and in your inner life this means your imagined state creates your outer experience. You are not at the mercy of events; you are the I AM possessing and directing imagination. The moment you revise by saying, 'I am the unbounded now,' you shift the entire lump. Do not chase external changes; let the feeling of the fulfilled self become your dominant state, and see how the world conforms to it.
Practice This Now
Close the eyes, breathe, and assume 'I am whole and free now' for a minute. Then act as if that state is already true.
