Cleansing the Inner Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard’s lens, the verse becomes an invitation to a state rather than a ritual. Washing hands in innocency is a cleansing of thought—let go of guilt, fear, and the idea that you are separate from truth. It is a decision of mind to stand in the knowing I AM, and as you do, you compass the altar of awareness with steady attention. The altar is the center of your focus where you vow to honor truth rather than mistake. To publish with the voice of thanksgiving is to speak from that state, not to report to a distant judge, but to align your inner speech with gratitude until it becomes your felt reality. Telling of all thy wondrous works is the habit of naming your inner miracles—practice, recall, and confess them until they saturate your consciousness. The abode and dwelling place is not a place of bricks but the place of consciousness where God’s presence dwells. By repeatedly returning to this inner sanctuary and treating it as your home, you awaken to the I AM that you are, and your life begins to reflect that divine order.
