Inner Boundaries of Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this ancient rhythm is a map of consciousness. The woman’s issue and the seven-day separation represent a temporary inner disposition—the belief that some part of life contaminates the whole. The rule that anything she lies upon or touches becomes unclean until evening stands for the way thoughts and surroundings reflect our current inner state. The curing process is not external but inward: by returning to the I AM awareness that is always clean you revise the condition. When you assume the feeling of being utterly in order, unaltered by circumstance, you withdraw the power of uncleanness from your experience. In Neville's method, the seven days are the interval in which you sustain the state of wholeness through imaginative persistence, not a literal week. Each act of washing is a mental act of cleansing belief by declaring I AM that I AM and sensing your consciousness as the sole seat of reality. The outer laws become portraits of inner habits, and your present assumption creates all you perceive.
