Hyssop of the Mind Purification
Psalms 51:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 51 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 51:7 asks to purge with hyssop and to wash so that the speaker may be clean and white as snow. It presents cleansing as a purification of the heart, using the symbol of hyssop to point to inner renewal.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville's lens, the verse is not about external ritual but the state of your inner being. Hyssop stands as a cue for cleansing in the theater of consciousness, a reminder that purification begins with a revision of self-image. When you say, Purge me, you are not petitioning an outside power; you acknowledge that your I AM—the awareness you inhabit—can rewrite memory and feeling. To be clean or whiter than snow is to inhabit a mind unburdened by yesterday's claims, a present-tense clarity that reflects inner reform. The washing is a metaphor for a fresh impression upon awareness, a renewal of self-perception that makes past stains vanish in your perception. The hyssop point calls you to act in imagination, to assume a state of purity as real now. Do not wait for ritual; perform the purification as a revision of consciousness: imagine you are already clean, declare that truth to your inner self, and allow the feeling of whiteness to rise. When you trust that your inner I AM has rewritten your state, your life will begin to reflect that reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare 'I am clean,' and imagine a gentle washing of awareness until the mind feels bright and unburdened. Then carry that sense of purity into your day, letting it govern thoughts and choices.
