Inner Sending and Sin Remission
John 20:21-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus grants peace, sends the disciples as he was sent, breathes the Holy Spirit, and authorizes them to remit or retain sins; these sins are inner conditions that shift with consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
The scene reveals that peace is not a distant event but a state of your own consciousness. When Jesus says, as the Father sent me, so I send you, he points to the inner act of sending your awareness into every situation. The breath of the Spirit is the quickening of life within your mind, turning your attention into action. The authority to remit or retain sins is the authority to choose your inner conditions; forgiving is the revoking of limiting thoughts, forgiving yourself and others, so that your outer world reflects release. To retain is to hold onto grievance, guilt, or fear, which hardens experience. The Father’s sending is your own command to embody a new state of being, and the Holy Spirit is not a distant power but the living awareness within you that animates your decisions. Remit equals release into peace; retain equals a stubborn inner pattern. Your miracle is the deliberate assumption of the sender and remitter, here and now, in your own mind.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In stillness, assume you are the sender who is peace itself; breathe in the Holy Spirit, then breathe out forgiveness toward a grievance or yourself, feeling the release as your new normal.
