Inner Priesthood Boundaries

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's reading, the verse speaks to the states of consciousness you permit as your inner companions. The 'wives' symbolize intimate inner attitudes; the command not to take widows or divorced partners means you do not anchor yourself to lack, separation, or past wounds. Instead, you marry maidens of the seed—the fresh, viable possibilities arising from your true I AM—states of holiness that carry life forward. A 'widow that had a priest before' represents a former devotion that can reappear but is not your current primary partner; keep your inner temple aligned with the steadfast, purified function of your sacred center. This is a discipline of inner association: holiness, purity, and obedience to your divine function. When you dwell in such aligned states, your outer life coheres to that pattern, for imagination creates reality and a fixed inner state manifests as your world. The verse asks you to safeguard the sanctity of your inner temple by choosing only those inner partners that honor your essential vocation.
