Inner Priesthood Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

To Ezekiel's priestly code I bring the inner eye. The hair instruction and the ban on wine are not about vanity or ritual, but about the discipline of your consciousness as you enter the inner sanctuary. The rule that they neither shave nor let their hair grow long suggests a precise, steady posture of attention—neither chaos nor attachment, but a clean shape of awareness. Polling the head signifies a deliberate trimming of stray assumptions, a readiness to stand before the I AM with a focused, uncluttered mind. The prohibition of wine when entering the inner court marks sobriety of perception: no intoxicants of fear, pride, or fantasy distorting your vision in the holy moment. In this reading, the priest is your own state of consciousness—the observer and ruler of your inner temple. Your imagination becomes the lamp of that temple, but it must be fed only with clear, sober feedings of truth. When you assume you are this purified state now, you awaken to a continuous priesthood within, living in purity and presence rather than ritual alone.
