Inner Leprosy and Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Do not take the leprosy as a thing inflicted on you, but as a state of consciousness that you are momentarily entertaining. The rising white and the quick raw flesh are symbolic signs that a long-held belief—one that you are separate from the Source—has seemed to take root in the flesh of your life. The priest who sees him is your inner discernment, the I AM that can name a state without resisting it. When the priest pronounces the man unclean, this is not punishment but a reminder that you are not the condition: you are the awareness that can step into a new story. The law here asks you to hold the old state in its place while you refuse to identify with it, so the old leprosy remains external while your true self remains intact. Then comes the revision: assume a new state—I AM clean, I AM whole, I am one with God. Let imagination perform the transformation and feel it real. As you dwell in that assumed state, the image of disease dissolves into the nothingness from which all life arises.
