Inner Dietary Covenant Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM, Deuteronomy's list is an inner map. The 'abominable' foods are not about meat, but about states of consciousness you deny, and the 'clean' and 'unclean' rites mirror the inner diet you allow your senses to digest. The covenant loyalty you read about becomes fidelity to the one I AM within, the steady perception that chooses what to feed the mind. The beasts that 'chew the cud' but 'divide not the hoof' symbolize double-minded thoughts—alliances you tolerate that never fully digest into clear action. When you refuse the swine or the creeping things of vision, you are not obeying a law so much as declaring a boundary in your inner temple: you will not feed fear, laziness, or anything that unsettles your sense of holiness. The instruction to give the meat to the stranger or sell it becomes a practice in not contaminating your atmosphere with images that do not align with your true nature. You are a holy people, a temple of the I AM; your sovereignty lies in the constant selection of what you 'eat' with attention, imagery, and belief. Align your inner diet, and your outer world is rearranged accordingly.
