Inner Purity Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Zephaniah speaks of a city that is filthy and polluted as a symbol of consciousness in error. In the Neville Goddard view, there is no external decree apart from the state of awareness you inhabit. The 'woe' is a wake-up call: what you label as others or the world is simply the inner atmosphere you are harboring—resentment, fear, cruelty, and compulsive control. To rise from this, assume a higher state of consciousness now. Imagine the city not as a broken place to be fixed, but as your own inner temple, perfectly clean and radiant when the I AM asserts itself. The oppressive, external pressures melt when you acknowledge that God, your awareness, is the sole sovereign of experience. Your task is to revise the sense of self from one who is corrupted to one who is clean, just, and free. Speak and feel from the completed state: “I am pure. I am free. I govern my world by the law of consciousness.” When you dwell in that assumed freshness, you awaken the inner city to righteousness and justice.
