Inner Cleansing and Justice
Isaiah 1:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It calls you to purify conduct and abandon evil. It further urges you to actively pursue justice and care for the vulnerable.
Neville's Inner Vision
See these words as a divine suggestion about your inner atmosphere. 'Wash you, make you clean' points to a cleansing of your mind, rinsing away memory programs of guilt, blame, and fear that you unconsciously use to define yourself. Put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil—this is a revision of your self-concept: you choose now to interpret life through a compassionate, just I AM. 'Learn to do well; seek judgment' means sharpen your inner vision toward what is right in your own consciousness; align your decisions with justice. 'Relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow' translates to internal acts of mercy, which, in Neville's framework, are acts of imagination that relieve the 'oppressed' parts of you—habitual fears, neglected wounds, and unspoken needs. As you hold this inner state, your world moves to reflect it: opportunities to serve, contacts that heal, and a sense of unity with those you once separated from. The call to justice becomes a call to awaken to your own I AM and act from that light.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the cleansing I seek; I am justice in action.' Then revise a recent choice by mentally undoing a hurtful pattern and envisioning relief for someone oppressed, feeling the reality of that shift.
