Inner Purity Through Imagination

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard framework, the verse is not a rigid rule but a map of inner weather. The “woman” with an “issue” is a name for a stubborn belief or lingering thought in your mind. The seven days of separation symbolize a deliberate pause in reacting to that thought, a temporary withdrawal from the old pattern so it loses power to define you. When someone touches that state and seems to contract that “uncleanness,” it is only your own consciousness identifying with a former condition. The remedy is not to fight appearances but to reoccupy the inner state you desire. You do not seek external purification; you become the I AM, the awareness that remains untouched by passing forms. Imagine your life as a consciousness that is already clean, whole, and holy; revise the scene to align with this truth until it registers as memory rather than reality. The evening is the symbolic moment when the new state takes hold in your mind, restoring harmony with your essential holiness. Your world follows the inner assumption you decree.
