Rewriting the Book of Life

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard view, the book of the living is your inner register—your current state of awareness. 'Let them be blotted out' speaks not of external enemies, but your own misaligned beliefs, habits, and judgments that keep you feeling separated from your true I AM. To be written not with the righteous is to refuse to identify with the old self and its condemned record. You are the author who writes by imagination. When you imagine yourself already inscribed among the righteous—filled with the certainty of your oneness with God—you erase the old scrips, replacing them with a new line of being. The act of blotting is the moment you decide to retire fear, blame, and limitation from your inner ledger. The external world will mirror the revision as your inner state holds its new truth. So, the call is to practice a revision: persist in the conviction that your true name is written in the I AM, not in fault-finding or judgment, and feel the reality of that state now.
