Beyond The Whitewashed Tomb

Matthew 23:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 23 in context

Scripture Focus

27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Matthew 23:27

Biblical Context

The verse condemns outward hypocrisy, illustrating that true purity is an inner state, not a polished exterior; inner life determines outer reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this warning reveals you are judged not by outward deeds but by your inner state. The scribes and Pharisees seem beautiful on the surface, like a tomb whitened for show, yet inside you discover beliefs, fears, and memories—dead bones—that you have accepted as real. In Neville’s psychology, life mirrors your state of consciousness; material conditions rise from unseen assumptions. When you cling to the ego’s need to polish the exterior, you lock yourself in a coffin of limitation. The invitation is to reverse the image: the tomb is an inner thought-form you entertain about yourself. By assuming the truth that you are the I AM, that your nature is already pure and complete, the inner rot yields to light. Feel the reality of your divine essence now; imagine that the space you call self is washed clean by consciousness. As you dwell in this inner state, your outer life aligns with wholeness, and the “dead bones” dissolve into living form.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner-state of purity now: silently repeat, 'I am the I AM, pure and complete.' Feel this truth as real and let the outer scene reflect it; see the inner tomb brightened by light.
