Inner Purification Debate John 3:25

Neville's Inner Vision

Two minds within you clash: John’s followers clinging to purification by outward rites, and the Jews insisting porcelain cleanliness comes through ceremonial acts. The quarrel is not about washing but about the state of consciousness you accept as real. Purification, in this reading, is inner alignment, not a ritual; the dispute reveals a split mind that seeks cleanliness by law while remaining unaware of the I AM within, the true purifier who already knows you are clean. The disciples of John mirror an old memory of striving; the Jews mirror the belief that purification must be verified by deeds. When you observe this inner argument, you are being shown that the inner I AM is the only cleanser. If you accept the assumption that you are pure now, the contention dissolves; the act of purification becomes a moment of inner recognition rather than a rite performed from without. The moment you claim I AM as your reality, you reframe every deed from a completed state, and cleanliness becomes your natural condition.
