Inner Boundaries of Kinship
Leviticus 18:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 18:12 sets a boundary: do not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister; she is thy father's near kinswoman. It points to purity and integrity in intimate relationships.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your Father is the I AM, the conscious life within you; thy father's sister represents a near aspect of that life—an intimate pattern or urge in your own mind. To 'uncover' her nakedness is to expose that inner relationship to base appetite or habit. The law whispers an inner boundary: guard the sacred precincts of your consciousness so no impulse can misuse the close ties of your inner world. You are not ruled by appetite but by the I AM, the truthful observer who names and claims every thought. When temptation arises, assume the state of wholeness and feel the I AM enfold that inner space in light. Revise the thought by stating, 'This is not mine to act upon; I am the boundary of life within me,' and feel that revision real until it becomes your normal sense. The 'father's sister' here is a symbol of how intimate parts of you must be treated with reverence, not leveraged for fleeting sensation. By living from this inner law, you align imagination with sacred order and experience a more luminous, integrated self.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and imagine the I AM drawing a bright circle of light around your inner life, especially your intimate patterns. When thoughts of using those patterns arise, revise them by affirming, 'This is guarded by the I AM' until you feel the boundary solidify.
