Wholeness Through Inner Purification
Leviticus 20:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that marrying a wife and her mother is wicked and must be punished; read plainly, it draws a stark boundary against such combined unions. In Neville's sense, it signals that inner states cannot sustain two conflicting loyalties at once, otherwise inner harmony dissolves into disharmony.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner temple, this is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. If a man would have two in one—two loyalties, two desires that cannot share the throne—he severs his harmony. The wife and her mother symbolize two generations of impulse—security through possession and nourishment of tradition—that cannot stand together in one state of awareness. The 'wickedness' spoken of is the inner disharmony that arises when you invite conflicting images into your imagination. The fire of judgment is the alchemical fire of awareness that burns away the false mixture, leaving a single, coherent I AM. When you dwell in the feeling of your completed state, you refuse the split, and the inner fire does its work: you cease being torn between incompatible wishes and become a unified, creative agent. This is the real meaning: the law resets your inner kingdom by purifying your attention so that your outer life reflects a singular identity rather than a battleground of impulses. Practice: assume you are already the whole you, and let the conflicting desires fall away as you hold to the one, vivid image of fulfillment.
Practice This Now
Sit in stillness and repeat the assumption: I am whole, here and now. Visualize a bright, purifying fire consuming the split within, and feel the single, coherent I AM emerge as your natural reality.
