Inner Purity, Birds of Prey
Leviticus 11:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 11:13-16 names certain birds as abominations, signaling a boundary about inner states one should not feed. The passage treats purity as an inner discipline and separation within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Seen through Neville’s lamp, Leviticus 11:13-16 reveals a law not of foods but of consciousness. 'Abomination' is the evident consequence of tolerating certain inner birds—eagles of pride, ravens of fear, owls of murky doubt—that prey on your attention. The 'fowls' become your thoughts and appetites; what you refuse to feed grows weak and silent; what you nourish grows bold and bright. The insistence that they be 'abomination' marks a boundary: you are the I AM, the observer and governor of every vibration within. Your reality does not change by rule but by assumption. When you revise your inner mood to consent only to states that uplift, you domesticate the wild birds; you do not struggle with them but reframe them as harmless observations within your vast awareness. In practice, you can affirm that your entire being is sacred, that only pure, life-affirming states are fed in you. The birds you previously feared fall away as you dwell in the truth of your unity with God-quality awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume: I am the I AM; I choose what enters my consciousness. In a quiet inner vision, the abominable birds retreat, leaving a clear sky of peaceful awareness.
