Purity as Consciousness: Leviticus 18:20-23

Leviticus 18:20-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 18 in context

Scripture Focus

20Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Leviticus 18:20-23

Biblical Context

Leviticus 18:20-23 forbids sexual relations with a neighbor's wife, forbids offerings to Molech, and prohibits same-sex and bestial acts, upholding holiness and separation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the verse as a map of inner states: the outward prohibitions are not judgments on others but reminders that the self’s imagined acts betray a misalignment with your true I AM. When you entertain thoughts of another’s wife, or any impulse that seems to defile your sanctum, you are not dealing with persons but with a state of consciousness you have allowed to creep into your mind. Molech's fire is the fear you feed toward a future you cannot control; to sacrifice to it is to abandon your real identity as I AM. To profane the name of God is to forget that God is within, the ever-present awareness that you are, here and now. The lines about lying with mankind and beasts point to inner unions that do not honor the natural harmony of being—imagined identities, baser appetites, or coercive selves that pretend to be you. The law is a gentle summons to keep your inner house pure, to tend the flame of awareness, and to remember that you are the creator of your world by the state you inhabit. Choose the higher self, and the external codes align in time with your renewed consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and declare 'I AM purity now' while resting in a clear, calm state. Revise any sense of guilt by repeating 'I AM' as your true identity until the feeling of separation dissolves.
