Inner Garment Illumination

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this image as a map of the mind. The garment and the skin are not fabric and flesh; they are symbols of your inner dispositions. When a color or blemish appears in the warp or woof, it signals a belief you have accepted about yourself, a ‘plague’ of limitation that seems to cling to your self-image. In the Neville Goddard sense, the Priest is the I AM within—the steady, unassailable awareness that you already are complete. Do not seek cleansing from without, but invoke the inner verdict that what the eye calls unclean is nothing but a thought in need of revision. The command to show it to the priest becomes a practice: bring the belief to your own attention, declare it seen, and let the truth of God’s presence overwrite it. The outward plague dissolves as you assume a now-dissolving scenario, the feeling that grace is the only true color of your life. The text thus becomes a reminder that holiness is not a place on the garment, but the state of awareness that sews the garment anew.
