Inner Purification Rite
Leviticus 12:6-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 12:6-8 describes purification after childbirth: a woman offers a lamb and birds for atonement, the priest makes her clean, and if she cannot afford a lamb, two birds may suffice.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine this law as a map of your inner state. The outward rite points to a deeper truth: purification is a conscious shift, not a mere ceremony. The mother’s birth becomes the birth of a new self within you, and purification is the restoration of harmony between your I AM and every fear-conditioned thought. The lamb represents a living devotion offered from the first-year vitality of your awareness, while the birds symbolize simpler, practical acts of attention that still reach the inner altar. The priest who offers and makes atonement is your own inner faculty of awareness—the part of you that recognizes truth and pronounces cleansing when you return to the divine frame. The “door of the tabernacle” is the threshold of consciousness where you choose to stand free of guilt and limitation. Atonement here means alignment with God within, a reintegration of self with the universal I AM. And whether you offer the grand symbol or the modest two birds, the message is the same: inner cleansing comes through reverent, consistent focus on your true nature. The law speaks to abundance and accessibility, inviting you to realize purity by any sincere act of devotion.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare I AM, and envision presenting your inner offering at the door of your mind's tabernacle; feel the cleansing as a current of new awareness flowing through you.
