Dismantling the Inner House
Leviticus 14:45 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes breaking down the house and removing its stones, timber, and mortar, then carrying the debris out of the city. It portrays separation from what is deemed unclean.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner life is the 'house' you populate with thoughts and habits. When Leviticus 14:45 speaks of breaking it down, it is not vengeance but an act of healing perception. The stones, timber, and mortar are formed beliefs, memories, and patterns that have become infected with fear, doubt, or guilt. To dismantle the house is to revise those states at their root: you refuse to nourish them anymore and declare, I AM, that they no longer define you. By carrying the rubble out of the city, you symbolically eject those contaminating ideas from your awareness, making room for purity to enter. Exile and return appear as the practical rhythm of the self: you depart from the old self and return anew, not by judgment but by the cleansing of your field of consciousness. Holiness arises when you consciously separate the true from the false, allowing a higher idea to live in the empty space. When you imagine this demolition with feeling, you align with the truth that imagination creates reality, and your present world will reflect this reordering of inner states.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, with a calm breath, picture the old inner house being torn down. Feel the new, bright foundation forming in your awareness.
