Inner Hygiene Of The I Am

Leviticus 11:3-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 11 in context

Scripture Focus

3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:3-8

Biblical Context

Leviticus 11:3–8 draws a boundary between clean and unclean animals as an outward ritual that symbolically teaches inner states; purity arises from inner harmony, and feeding on imperfect patterns keeps the mind unclean.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this ancient list, the clean beasts become a map of the state of consciousness that truly nourishes life. The hoof that splits and the cud that is chewed together symbolize a mind whose hoof and cud are in godly accord; such unity allows you to eat the inner food that sustains you. When the text says that some animals chew the cud but do not divide the hoof—camel, coney, hare—and that the swine divides the hoof yet does not chew the cud, it points to inner patterns that appear outwardly organized but lack complete alignment. To dwell in such partial states is to live in unclean consciousness, feeding on the memory of dead beliefs rather than the living energy of now. The carcase is touched not, and thus we refuse to dwell in dead or stale thoughts. Leviticus, seen through the I AM, becomes a discipline of inner integrity: choose thoughts and emotions that harmonize, dissolve any split within, and honor the boundary between what you feed your mind and what you let go. When you realize imagination shapes reality, you will live from one state—the clean, whole state of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In 60 seconds, assume the I AM as your sole food—feel your thoughts and feelings aligned as one. Revise a lingering belief by declaring I am whole; only clean patterns feed my life.
