The Running Water Purification
Leviticus 14:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 14:5 describes a priestly act where a bird is killed in an earthen vessel over running water, symbolizing purification and separation unto holiness. It points to cleansing by releasing an inner belief into the flow of life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the framework of consciousness, the bird stands for a belief or habit lodged in the mind, the earthen vessel for the body or conditioner of experience, and the flowing water for life’s continuous movement. The priestly command is your I AM declaring that the old thought dies and is washed away by truth. As you imagine this act, you reverse the sense of separation and allow holiness to become a lived state rather than a ritual memory. Letting the bird dissolve into the water dissolves the old identity; the vessel holds the moment of choice. In that instant, purity arises as a state of awareness, and holiness becomes your natural condition. Your life then aligns with the divine order because you have ceased defending the old belief and accepted your unity with the presence within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the bird of a limiting belief dying in an earthen vessel over running water. Feel the water carry away its energy as you declare, I AM holy, I AM present.
