Inner Boundaries of Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the scene is a test in consciousness. The garment is not mere cloth; it is an outer sign of identity pressed by circumstance. The temptation asks, Lie with me, but Joseph replies with an inward no that becomes a yes to the I AM. He leaves the garment—an outer token—so that the inner state remains untouched by accusation or proof. The act of fleeing symbolizes a decisive revision in imagination: he refuses to identify with the dream of temporary pleasure and instead anchors himself in an unshakable sense of liberty and purity. In Neville's language, the key is awareness that God, the I AM, is the sole reality; events are only movements within consciousness. Your task is to practice the same: affirm that you are the unconditionally complete presence that cannot be 'made impure' by appearances. The test ends by proving that holiness is not a place but a state you sustain by feeling it real. The dropped garment is proof that your inner boundary cannot be crossed by mere suggestion.
