Inner Holiness Beyond Touch

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of 'holy flesh' as a symbol for a fixed state of awareness, a discipline you choose to wear. The scene in Haggai exposes the fallacy that sanctity can travel by edge of a garment. The priests' answer is an invitation to look inward: holiness is not something you bestow on objects by touching them outside, but something you originate within. If your thoughts, feelings, and imaginal acts are vibrated with purity, then every bread, potage, wine, oil, or meat you touch reflects that inner radiation; but if your inner state is innocently free or profane, the outside objects remain unchanged. The law, as Neville would say, is not a rule of external ritual; it is the law of your consciousness. Your I AM, your present awareness, is the boundary through which reality is formed. When you align with the truth that imagination creates, you stop seeking holiness in forms and begin living from the state you desire. In short, holiness is a condition of consciousness, not a condition of contact.
