Inner Holiness Now

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, this text reveals holiness as an inner state rather than external ritual. The creeping things symbolize stagnant, unclean thoughts and impulses that creep into awareness and contaminate the sense of self. The edict to be holy, for I am holy, invites you to treat the I AM within as the sovereign governing your inner temple. To sanctify yourselves is to align attention, feeling, and imagination with that holy state instead of with fear, desire, or habit. By refusing to dwell on defiling images, you resist contamination by environment and rise from the old self—Egypt—into a new consciousness under God. The declaration that I am the LORD your God asserts that you are not apart from this holiness; you are governed by the same I AM that led you forth. Therefore holiness is your natural state, accessible now. Regularly assuming this holy state, you become the living embodiment of I AM, and your world rearranges to reflect that inner sanctity.
