Inner Cleansing Rite

Neville's Inner Vision

I see this not as a ritual performed on a person, but as a story for the inner state you inhabit. The seven days symbolize a passing from old thoughts and feelings of separation, a gentle letting go of the sense that you are distant from God. The eighth day marks a decisive turning point when you admit a new light into your consciousness. Present two birds to the priest of your mind—the first as a sin offering, the second as a burnt offering. The sin offering acknowledges the belief in separation and releases it; the burnt offering consecrates your renewed awareness to the higher self, the I AM that you are. In this reading, the priest is your inner faculty of forgiveness, the act of atonement is self-acceptance by awareness itself. When you accept that you are clean in the light of your true self, the old condition dissolves and a new vitality stirs. The ritual is not about external rules but about implanting in imagination the truth that you are whole by your very consciousness.
