Cleansing the Carcass of Thought

Neville's Inner Vision

Put simply, Leviticus shows you that an old, dead form cannot be touched without staining your inner state. The carcass is a symbol of a belief or habit that has died to your true self. When you touch it—identify with it, entertain fear or lack—you contract a temporary impurity, a case of 'unclean' consciousness, lasting until the end of the mental day. To be free, you must wash, not the body, but your mental clothes—declare and feel that you operate in the I AM, your true state, beyond the old carcasses. The rule of evening is the inner cadence: at the turning of your attention from the corpse to the living I AM, the impurity passes and your state is renewed. If you eat of the carcass, or bear it, it merely reinforces the belief; the remedy is revision—see that you are already clean by your awareness, not cleansed by ritual. The leaven of separation dissolves as you realize God is the I AM present here now, and you dwell in the present, perfected.
