The Inner Priest Unveils Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the scab is a metaphor for a creeping state of mind—limitations, doubts, fears—that has taken hold in your consciousness. The priest represents your inner observer, the I AM, whose duty is to measure the quality of your present awareness. If you allow the condition to spread, you align with a mental verdict that says, in effect, 'this is who I am.' Yet the power to heal lies in reverse: you can revise the state to the feeling of wholeness, and stand under the authority of the inner priest who declares, not contamination, but renewal. The moment you cease resisting the testimony of unity and begin to affirm a different inner fact, the supposed leprosy loses its grip. The lore of cleansing becomes a practice: you don’t fight the scab, you shift the consciousness that imagines it. Through revision and felt sense, you call forth a new state and the body follows.
