Inner Levites, Personal Accountability

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this text is not about ancient tribes but about states of consciousness. The Levites who withdrew from me represent those inner dispositions that distance themselves from the I AM, the awareness that you truly are. When Israel turns to idols—attachments, fears, habitual patterns—the inner being accepts a penalty: separation from the divine flow becomes felt as iniquity. The verse does not threaten you from without; it reveals a discipline of the heart: you own your movements, you own the choice that moved you away from the living present. In this light, exile is the mind's separation from the original act of creation—your awareness imagining itself as something less than whole. The bearing of iniquity is your willingness to own the effect of your inner pictures and to revise them by assuming the end you desire. By choosing to identify with the I AM, you restore temple-service within, and the idol-worship you cultivated dissolves as you return to alignment. The time of judgment becomes a gentle correction in consciousness, guiding you back to unity with God within.
