Unleavened Life, Holy Rest

Neville's Inner Vision

Reading Exodus 12:15-16 through the Neville lens, it becomes a map of inner purification rather than a ritual instruction. Leaven stands for beliefs and habits that puff up separation—fear, pride, and the old stories about lack. Seven days symbolize a complete cycle of consciousness, a disciplined removal of that yeast so the mind returns to simple, undefiled bread: pure awareness. The first day and the seventh day, holy convocations, mark moments to halt outward activity and attend to your inner state. No work is to be done except what sustains life—eat, nourish, and rest—teaching you that the only legitimate action is alignment with I AM, the awareness that you are not a fragment but the whole. As you remove leaven from your mental house, you revise the sense of self away from scarcity toward sufficiency, away from striving and toward presence. In this light, you are the unleavened bread, existing by the power of consciousness rather than by habit or fear.
