Inner Cleansing Psalm 51:2
Psalms 51:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 51 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse pleads for thorough cleansing from iniquity and sin. It signals an inner purification and a turning toward integrity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of 'wash me throughly' as a declaration of the state you inhabit. In Neville's method, sin is not a distant act; it is a misalignment of consciousness. To 'wash' is to revise the inner conditions by becoming aware of the I AM, the consciousness that remains untouched by error. When you assume you are already cleansed, you disidentify with guilt and listen to the inner movement toward purity. The 'throughly' suggests completeness: you do not merely repent superficially but invite a full renovation of your inner climate—quiet, unwavering awareness that you are the I AM, and that sin dissolves as you dwell in that truth. You are not washing God; you are washing your mind, remodeling your self-conception to align with purity and integrity, where forgiveness flows as a natural consequence of your awareness, reconciliation with life, and a new sense of sacrifice—letting go of the old self and embracing the new.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, take a slow breath, and imagine you are already cleansed. Speak softly, 'I AM pure,' and feel the renewal as your conscious state shifts.
