Inner Purity Beyond Creeping Things
Leviticus 11:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
These lines declare that certain creeping things are unclean, and touching them when they are dead renders a person unclean until evening. The passage marks a boundary between inner states of defilement and the possibility of purification.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you the verses speak of creeping things, the little thoughts and habits that would settle as if alive. To touch them while they are dead is to entertain a lifeless memory and call it reality, leaving you in a state the Hebrews call unclean—until the evening of your next turning of the mind back to I AM. But the truth is that impurity is a belief about separation, not an outside reality. You are the sea of consciousness, and every dirtied impression is but a wave on the surface. When you acknowledge this by the open felt sense that you are I AM, you instantly revise the state. The creeps dissolve as you rest in the awareness that nothing touches you but the light of your own consciousness. The 'even' is not a clock but a turning of attention back to your center, where you stand as God’s idea, unaltered by appearances. So purity is not a ritual; it is a remembered identity.
Practice This Now
In a moment of quiet, assume the I AM: I am pure, I am whole. Visualize touching the creeping thought or habit and seeing it dissolve into light, returning you instantly to the awareness of your true self.
