Inner Cleanse Beyond Sacred Walls

Neville's Inner Vision

Like a map, Ezekiel shows the inner path: the bullock is the stubborn habit of sin-consciousness you have strapped to your life. It belongs not inside the holy sanctuary but in the outer place of your ordinary thoughts. To burn it outside the sanctuary is to refuse to carry guilt into your higher self; it is to deny the ritual of penance in the mind and to release it into the fire of imagination where it can be consumed. The appointed place of the house is the current stage of your awareness, the very room you inhabit now. When you imagine this act—burning the belief in separation in the open field of consciousness—you demonstrate that purification is a mental operation, begun and completed in you. The I AM, your fundamental awareness, remains untouched as you let go of the old pattern. Forgiveness then arises naturally, not as a bargain with God, but as a revision of your own sense of self.
