Cleansing of the Inner Leper
Mark 1:40-45 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A leper comes to Jesus begging for cleansing; Jesus heals him by touching and declaring that the man is clean, then sends him to show himself to the priest, but the healed man goes out and publicizes the miracle.
Neville's Inner Vision
Envision the leper as a symbol of a state of consciousness convinced of separation. The healed state enters not through effort but by an inner consent to be touched by the I AM, the awareness that you are already whole. The decree I will; be thou clean is the moment of inner authority, a firm assumption that the belief in impurity has no power over your true nature. When that ruling is accepted in the heart, the sense of separation evaporates and the body mirrors the shift. Compassion here is the I AM moving toward you—a gentle, irresistible assurance of wholeness. The outward scene—including warnings to restrain outward reports—becomes the arena where inner truth begins to manifest. Yet the real transmission is inward: once the inner consciousness rests in wellness, life rearranges itself so that the outer world reflects your certainty, drawing toward you the conditions that confirm your healed state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the healed self; repeat I am clean and I am whole, and feel that truth saturate your body until the sense of separation dissolves. Then go about your day acting as the healed you, letting the outer world respond to your inner certainty.
