Inner Purification Covenant Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM of Neville Goddard, the rite is not about physical dirt but states of consciousness. The eighth day marks the birth of a new self—an awakening that requires a cutting away of old beliefs, the 'foreskin' of fear and habit. This act of circumcision is a symbolic severing from patterns that keep you identified with lack or limitation. The mother’s thirty-three days of purification symbolize a disciplined refinement of thought and feeling until they vibrate only with the sacred presence you already are. During this period you refrain from touching what you once worshiped as holy, and you step back from entering the sanctuary with a mind still ruled by old imagery. Do not see this as punishment, but as a deliberate realignment: a quiet, inner consent to become more of your true I AM. When that purification completes, your mental sanctuary stands open—not in a building, but in your awakened awareness. The inner covenant is loyalty to the truth of your own being.
