Inner Tabernacle: Sacred Distinction

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard's view, Leviticus 11:8 is not merely a dietary command but a map of your inner state. 'Unclean' denotes a belief or habit that has contaminated your awareness. The flesh you are told not to eat represents an old appetite you have allowed to govern sensation; the carcass you must not touch is the memory of a past identity clinging to feeling. The I AM—the indestructible awareness within you—must inhabit a temple that refuses contact with such defilement. See separation as protective, not punitive: it preserves the clarity and vitality of your consciousness. By intentionally withholding engagement with these old patterns, you demonstrate faith in your inner governor and maintain the integrity of your spiritual home. Speak quietly to yourself: I AM the unchanging I AM; no unclean thing enters this temple. Then invite a renewal, as if light were washing through the rooms of your mind, separating the past from your present awareness.
