The Inner Touch of Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, the scene reveals healing as a state of consciousness rather than a physical intervention. The woman’s act is a decisive assumption: she chooses the I AM as the source of wholeness and reaches for the edge of awareness—the garment—as proof that health is already established. Her declaration, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole,” is a surrender to an inner truth, not a petition to an external power. The “fountain of her blood” signifies the old belief in lack; its drying up marks the collapse of that belief as the new Truth takes hold. “Straightway” indicates the instantaneous alignment of outer conditions with inner conviction when consciousness embraces the healed state. The presence of God is not distant but the I AM animating every cell; healing follows the revision of self from lack to fullness. In practice, you are called to imitate this inner decision: recognize the inner fact of wholeness and live from it, and the body will respond accordingly.
