Eighth Day Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus 12:3 may seem a ritual of a body, yet in the Neville idiom it is a description of an inner act. The skin of circumcision stands for every layer of identity that says, 'I am this body, this role, this limitation.' The eighth day signals a new birth: a moment when consciousness returns to its original state, the I AM that is always present, complete, unconditioned. The covenant is not imposed from without but acknowledged within: a decision to align every sensation, thought, and action with divine awareness. When you assume that you are the I AM, you begin to peel away the imagined covering of fear, doubt, and habit. The old 'flesh' falls away as you hold firm to the reality of pure consciousness; you are not the past self but the living idea of God made manifest. In practice, every moment you refuse the old identity and insist that 'I AM' is the truth, you enact the inner circumcision and inaugurate holistic holiness.
