Inner Birth Purification
Leviticus 12:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 12:5 says that if the child is a girl, the mother is ceremonially unclean for two weeks and must complete sixty-six days of purification. The law marks a period of separation and purification.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's vantage, the outer ritual is but a symbol for an inner season of consciousness. The 'uncleanness' attributed to bearing a girl is not a moral failing but a state of awareness that has temporarily forgotten its oneness with God. You are not bound by the body's event; you are the I AM perceiving it. The two weeks and sixty-six days become a rhythm by which you observe a mental pattern and then release it through imagination. When you imagine yourself already pure, you reverse the clock of time and realize that purification is always now. The birth of a girl signifies the birth of a new aspect of your awareness—a new image of yourself as complete, holy, and inseparable from the divine I AM. By assuming the feeling of that truth, you align your inner state with the reality you desire, and outer conditions respond to your consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the moment of birth as a renewal of your I AM; declare, I am purified now, and feel the release as if the inner clock has already completed its cycle. Hold that feeling, letting the inner purification become your present reality.
