Neville Goddard on Leviticus 15:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 15 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

3And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.

Leviticus 15:1-3

Biblical Context

The verses define impurity as a condition arising from a bodily discharge, marking an outward sense of uncleanness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the running issue as a symbol, not a sentence. In Neville's sense, impurity is a state of consciousness, a belief that your life-flow is interrupted or that you are apart from the I AM. The 'Lord spake' and the call to 'Speak unto the children of Israel' is a reminder that you must address yourself, your inner people, with a decisive decree. Whether the issue 'runs' or is 'stopped,' it remains your uncleanness only as long as you accept the image as real. The inner reality is that you are always the I AM, undivided, life itself. To cleanse is not to change the physiologic event, but to revise your assumption about who you are: you are the I AM, the source of purity, and every appearance must align with that truth. When you dwell in the awareness that you are the living state, the external condition loses its claimed power; the issue becomes no more than a sign that a deeper belief requires correction. Your activity is to return to the living I AM now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the state 'I AM.' Revise the belief by whispering, 'I am whole and clean now,' then feel that reality settle in every cell.
