Inner Cleanliness and I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the 'man' who asks, 'What is man, that he should be clean?' is not a judgment about others, but a state of consciousness clinging to separation. The line about the heavens not being clean in his sight points to a mind conditioned by belief rather than actual moral defilement. The charge that man is abominable and filthy when he drinks iniquity mirrors the habitual habit of accepting fear and judgment as reality. Yet purity is not a merit line drawn by external standards; it is the indwelling I AM, the awareness that you are the creator of your scene. When you accept that you are already the pure reality within, you revise your self-image from fallen to awakened. The outer world will shift to reflect that inward image, revealing order, peace, and a steady sense of rightness. The 'saints' and the 'heavens' are symbols of your own inner states becoming clear as you stand in the truth that you are always as clean as your consciousness allows.
