Broken Vessels, Pure Mind
Leviticus 15:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 15:12 states that an earth vessel touched by impurity should be broken, and wooden vessels must be rinsed with water.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Leviticus' language, the vessels symbolize states of consciousness and the conditions they carry. When the mind’s earthen vessel is touched by a troubling issue, the text does not condemn; it points to a decisive revision in awareness: the old belief that you are defined by impurity must be broken. The instruction to break the earthen vessel invites you to relinquish the identity you gave to contamination. The line about washing the wooden vessels in water represents cleansing the daily instruments of life—habits, tools of imagination, channels of perception—by the living stream of awareness. By recognizing impurity as a state of mind, you stop being crushed by it and begin to rinse your world with truth. As you dwell in this renewed consciousness, your inner and outer experiences align, and life reflects a purified, one-state awareness rather than a program of fear.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM now. In a moment of quiet, picture the earthen vessel you touch being broken from the root of its old belief, then see every wooden vessel you employ in daily life rinsed clean by water. Feel the transformation as you stand in the truth that you are the I AM.
