Inner Purity, Outer Consequences

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture is a map of states, not a catalog of outward acts. When Paul warns of fornication and the plague that followed, he is describing a mind at war with its own unity. The sin is not merely a physical act but a surrender to a split consciousness—believing you must satisfy a separate sense of self in time and space. In that moment, you separate the I AM from the body and invite inner turbulence that, like a plague, appears as failure and loss. The numbers are symbolic: a crowd divided from its Source, acting from lack, producing visible collapse in the inner world. The healer is the recognition that you are the I AM, the one life that cannot be divided. By turning your attention from the lure of immediate gratification to the awareness that you have never left your divine center, you dissolve the temptation before it takes root. When you insist on your wholeness and feel it real, the appetite quiets, and the inner and outer world begin to harmonize with your holy state.
