Witnesses Within: The Inner Race

Hebrews 12:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Hebrews 12 in context

Scripture Focus

1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:1

Biblical Context

Hebrews 12:1 invites us to shed the burdens and sins that weigh us down so we may move forward with steadiness toward the life set before us.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the great cloud as your inner states of consciousness gathered in a silent audience. The 'witnesses' are not distant spectators; they are the thoughts, beliefs, and imaginal acts you have already accepted as real. To lay aside weight and sin is to release identifications that drain energy—fear, doubt, blame, the idea that you must grope toward life. The race set before you is the consistent living of your chosen state. Patience is the practiced stillness of awareness, not a tired endurance born of struggle. When you feel pulled toward limitation, return to the I AM at the center of your being and revise the scene: you already possess what you seek, you are already walking in your desired state. The moment you choose to assume and feel the end from the end, the outer world will rearrange to mirror that inner posture. Therefore, trust the inner movement, not the outer appearances; your imagination is the wheel and the path. In this holy inward gym, you are the runner and the finish line simultaneously, awaiting only your conscious decision to begin from the end.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of already having laid aside weights and completed the race. Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, I am the I AM; I have laid aside every weight and sin, and I run my race with patience now.
