Inner Boundaries of Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the decree as a map of your inner life. Nakedness in this verse points not to bodies but to exposed states of consciousness you permit in imagination. The woman and her daughter, and the daughter's daughter, represent near kin within you—intimate beliefs, habits, and feelings you have tended or inherited. To uncover their nakedness is to mix energies, to force an outer view on inner work, and so you feel disturbance—what the ancients called wickedness—because your inner order is violated. The law asks you to guard boundaries within your own awareness: keep the sacred chambers of mind free from casual exposure to others’ states and from ungoverned impulses. When you honor this boundary, you align with the I AM, the awareness that creates your life, and you realize you are the sole owner and gardener of your inner garden. With disciplined imagination, you conserve energy and allow a harmonious, truthful self-expression to emerge in your relationships and actions.
