Inner Covenant of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the I AM, Leviticus 18:9 speaks not of a law about bodies alone but of the sanctity of relation within consciousness. 'Your sister' is not merely a fleshly kin but a symbol for a state of mind housed within you—an intimate disposition, a trusted part of your inner life. To uncover her nakedness is to lay bare an inner vulnerability you have no right to display or disperse into the world of others; it suggests a breach of trust in your own projection. The command calls you to sanctify your inner climate—keep certain aspects of consciousness self-contained, protected, and respected. When you respect boundaries, you honor the I AM who governs perception. If you feel the impulse to expose or judge another's private inner life, revise by assuming the state: I am the guardian of consciousness, and my inner world remains inviolate and sacred. By imagining this sacred separation, you align your outer relationships with holiness, purity, and integrity.
