Inner Covenant Of Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this verse becomes a discipline of the inner world. The neighbor's wife is a symbol, not a person to trespass, but a projection of a moment in your own consciousness. To lie carnally is to abandon the boundary between your states of awareness and to use imagination to seize what does not belong to you. Holiness and separation arise as guardrails in the temple of mind, protecting your capacity to imagine without violating another's inner ground. When you see yourself as the I AM, you realize that all relations begin and end within your own consciousness and that you are the sole creator of what you allow to enter. Therefore, keep your thoughts clear and loyal to the truth you intend to live. The command is not a social rule but a practice of alignment with divine idea, a refusal to let desire dethrone the integrity of your inner kingdom. In this light, you can practice now by assuming the state of perfect fidelity to inner purity and letting imagination serve harmony, not trespass.
