Neville Goddard on Leviticus 15:32-33 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 15 in context

Scripture Focus

32This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;

33And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

Leviticus 15:32-33

Biblical Context

Leviticus 15:32-33 codifies impurity laws related to bodily discharges and contact with the unclean, marking who is considered defiled and in need of purification.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the psyche, the language of this law becomes the grammar of inner states. The 'issue' and the 'seed going forth' symbolize beliefs or habits that spill into awareness and produce the feeling of defilement. Yet holiness is not a set of external rules but the I AM—awareness that remains unchanged by appearances. When you label a state 'unclean,' you merely identify with a transient form and forget that you are the witness, the consciousness that observes. The so-called boundaries in Leviticus are really reminders to withdraw identification from impermanent conditions and to rest in the truth that you are pure consciousness in action. The phrases about 'sick' and 'hath an issue' are stories the mind tells itself until revised. By turning attention back to the I AM, the sense of separation dissolves and inner space is restored to holiness. The body may change, but the inner law remains: you are not defined by appearances; you are the awareness in which all appearances arise.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and revise: 'I am the I AM, pure awareness, untouched by any sense of impurity.' Feel this truth as present now and let it permeate every thought.
