Leviticus Cleansing Rite Of Inner Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened mind, the leper's cleansing is not a mere ritual but a turning of consciousness. The living bird and its sevenfold sprinkling signify the decisive movement of awareness from fear to faith, from separation to union with the I AM. Cedar wood calls you to inner steadfastness; scarlet declares life-force vitality; hyssop marks purification of belief; and the blood of the bird that was killed over running water represents the life-energy freed from error and anchored in the stream of life. When the priest pronounces him clean, you are invited to feel your own state shift into wholeness, and the living bird is released into the open field as your renewed self returning to life. The seven sprinklings symbolize the complete revision of your state until the old self dissolves and the true self stands revealed as clean and whole. Practice this now: assume the new state in imagination, feel it as real, and repeat the affirmation until it burns in your awareness, then release the old consciousness into the field of life.
