Inner Wash, Outer Clarity
John 13:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus tells the disciples that once washed, they are clean, yet he adds that not all are clean, signaling that inner purification is a matter of consciousness and remaining beliefs.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, John 13 grants us a parable: the body that has been washed is clean, yet the feet must be washed still, for the journey of life stirs the dust of old beliefs. The betrayer’s awareness is the shadow that arises in the mind, the last remnant of a self who fears lack and separation. Jesus, who knows the inner movings, does not condemn; he simply names the truth: you are clean, but not all within you are aligned with that cleanliness. To Neville, this is the inner law: you are the I AM, already impeccably clean in the deepest state, and yet you still negotiate with habit in the outer sense. The cleansing is not in a ritual, but in the decision to identify only with the I AM, to revision every sense of limitation as a dream of form. When you assume the feeling of your essential purity, the inner betrayer loses its grip, and the perceived separation dissolves into unity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, in feel-it-real, declare: I am clean in all my being; the I AM is the only reality. As you breathe, revise any sense of betrayal as a dream from the past, letting inner light wash the feet of your daily thoughts.
