Lift and Heal Within

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard viewpoint, these verses illuminate a law of inner renewal: nothing external heals you; your transformed state births shifted experiences. The hands that hang down and the knees that tremble symbolize a mind, heart, and will convinced of lack, resistance, or delay. To lift them is to decide in the I AM that you are already whole and capable; it is to refuse the motion of doubt and resume the posture of faith in your unseen self. The 'straight paths' are not roads to be found but images to be maintained—clear, unambiguous imaginal exercises that align feeling with the desired end. If you walk in fear or entertain inconsistent thoughts, the path becomes crooked and the 'lame' aspect of you remains unhealed. But if you hold the assumption that your new state exists now and let your imagination dwell there, your steps will naturally align, your body will respond with vitality, and healing will appear as an outward experience of your inner conviction. Your awareness, your I AM, is the healer; imagination is the instrument; feeling it real is the path.
