Inner Purity, Outer Reality
Titus 1:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Titus 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage warns not to follow fables or human commandments that drift from truth. It asserts that purity is a condition of your inner state; when your mind is pure, nothing is defiled.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of purity not as a set of rules but as the state of consciousness in which you stand. The 'fables' and 'commandments of men' are thoughts arising in a restless mind, tempting you to fix reality by outward standards. When you dwell in the I AM, in the awareness that you are that very purity, every thing appears as pure and unblemished. You will see that the sense of impurity arises only from a defiled mind and a conscience not aligned with truth. The outer world then mirrors the inward condition; you do not change things by changing externals but by changing the state from which you observe. If you insist upon separation and judgments, you will call many things defiled; if you rest in the pure witness, you claim the capacity to regard all as pure. Practice is retrieval: return to the sense that you are the pure, and allow fables and untruths to drop away as you revise them in imagination.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: I am the pure awareness in which all things are pure. Revise any belief that something is defiled and feel it real that your inner state makes the world appear so.
