Purity Through Inner Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of the mind, the verse is a call to wake from the belief that guilt and unpurified states must linger. The 'LORD of hosts' is the I AM within you, the governing awareness that reveals the quality of your present consciousness. The claim that iniquity cannot be purged until death shows that any cleansing comes not from outward ritual but from a shift in inner state. As long as you hold to the feeling of guilt as real, your life will echo that belief, repeating conditions born of it. Yet you can rewrite the scene now by assuming a new state: that you are one with divine purity, that your mind is in right relation with itself, and that you are always complete. When you inhabit that assumption and feel it as real, the old sense of guilt loosens its hold, and the inner atmosphere changes, dissolving the old condition without external ritual.
