Inner Touch, Inner Healing

Luke 8:45-47 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 8 in context

Scripture Focus

45And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Luke 8:45-47

Biblical Context

Jesus notices power moving from him; a woman touches him in faith and is healed, while the crowd denies knowing who touched him; she comes forward to explain her reason and healing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the scene as a translation of states of consciousness. The crowd represents busy surfaces of life, while the 'touch' is a purposeful focus of awareness upon the I AM. When Jesus says that virtue has gone out of him, he is revealing that healing power is always present as the energy of consciousness, and it moves wherever attention intentionally rests. The unnamed woman embodies a faith that rests in the immediate reality of being whole; her trembling confession is the moment consciousness recognizes its own truth—that what is touched within is healed without. In Neville's terms, the entire event is an inner demonstration: the moment you 'touch' the unlimited presence within, you release the healing life that flows from the I AM. The public scene—being seen, being healed, being confessed—illustrates that the healing is not a favor granted from outside but a realization affirmed in consciousness and made visible as experience. The key is to assume, feel, and dwell in the reality of wholeness here and now, and watch the outer world respond accordingly.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place your hand on your chest, and declare, 'I AM healed now.' Then imagine touching the inner light of consciousness and feel the truth of wholeness until it is your felt reality.
