Passover Within Dawn
Luke 22:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 22:1 speaks of the approaching Passover, signaling a season of purification within the soul. In Neville's terms, it marks an inner shift toward purity, readiness, and the belief that redemption begins in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Luke 22:1 places the feast of unleavened bread at the doorstep, yet in Neville Goddard’s reading it is a call to the inner Passover. Unleavened bread represents the removal of leaven—the purging of ego’s puffery from your mind. The 'Near' is not timing but the nearness of awareness: you are the I AM, the steadfast witness whose consciousness is the stage on which all events unfold. When you understand that the Passover is within, you stop seeking outward rites and begin to revise from the assumption that you are separate from God to the conviction that you are already one with divine life. In this light, anything that feels unlike peace—fear, lack, desire—can be treated as leaven to be purged by attention and imagination. The work is simple: dwell in the awareness that the cleansing has occurred, and let your imagination consent to the feeling that redemption is established in you now. The nearness of the feast invites you to live from that state rather than waiting for a future breakthrough.
Practice This Now
Assume the Passover is true now. Feel the inner purity as if it already were.
