Purity Through Inner Circumcision

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the ancient ritual becomes a map of your inner life. The 'uncleanness' is not contamination but a belief in separation from the Life that fills you. The seven days symbolize stages of attention—until you awaken to the I AM that you are. On the eighth day the act of circumcision points to the cutting away of the ego’s foreskin—the false sense that you are apart from God, from the living Presence within. When you assume the completed state, you practically refuse the notion of impurity and let the sense of wholeness surge through every cell. The law here invites you to see holiness as a condition you can embody by inner consent, not a distant observance. Thus the verse becomes a personal instruction: imagine yourself already pure, and permit the old identity to fall away in the luminous light of your true Self.
