Inner Boundaries and Nakedness
Leviticus 18:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse sets a boundary against exposing the nakedness of thy son's daughter or thy daughter's daughter and ties modesty to personal purity. It also implies that what you condemn in others mirrors your own vulnerable state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take Leviticus 18:10 as a reminder that the grandest law is written in the theater of your own mind. The 'nakedness' spoken of is not primarily about bodies but about openness within your inner life. Your awareness is the measure of separation and holiness; when you judge or imagine exposing another's vulnerability, you are naming and thus owning a facet of your own interior state. The line, 'for theirs is thine own nakedness,' invites you to see that what you refuse to acknowledge in yourself you project onto others. Thus, the call to purity becomes a call to reinstate a sovereign, unmoved I AM within, where boundaries arise not as punishment but as the natural discipline of consciousness. By choosing to guard your thoughts, you keep your inner climate free from consternation and fear, and you invite others to reflect that same wholeness. In practical terms, you revise any judgment into admiration and assume that you are already the state of integrity you seek.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit in quiet and assume the feeling of being the I AM guarding a sacred boundary within. When thoughts of others' vulnerability arise, revise instantly to 'I own my inner state; I am whole and pure,' and feel that realization as real.
