Inner Boundaries of Ezekiel 44:25

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s line, the dead are not corpses to be avoided; they are images of beliefs you have outgrown. Defilement is a state of consciousness—an inner feeling of impurity you invite when you dwell on lack, fear, or the past. The rule about not touching the dead is a call to preserve your inner atmosphere, to keep your attention on living possibility rather than old death-thoughts. The exception for kin who have had no husband suggests that certain inner relationships, aspects of yourself, may still be in a state of becoming, and thus may be touched by life long enough to renew them without admitting death consciousness. In truth, your purity comes from the I AM you are aware of; it is a boundary you create by refusing to invest energy in what has ceased to be. If you identify with your I AM, you will find that what you once called 'dead' loses its grip, and you can revise it by assuming the feeling of wholeness. Treat the near inner faculties as living channels, not as dead weight, and you will inhabit a state of holiness.
