Inner Boundaries of the Self

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet temple of your mind, the 'beast' is the flood of impulses that would claim your life. Leviticus speaks not to beasts and bodies so much as to the war within consciousness: the man and woman who imagine they must yield to a lower image, the animal within, to be whole. When you 'lie with' a beast, you are embracing a counterfeit sense of wholeness — that you are ruled by appetite rather than by the I AM that you truly are. The sentence 'they shall surely be put to death' becomes the symbol for the death of the old self-image that confuses desire with reality. The blood you read there is the record of your own accountability in the inner courtroom of experience. Neville would counsel you to revise that image: declare you are the sole governor of your temple, the boundary-keeper who chooses alignment with the higher self. By imagining the boundary as a warm, luminous barrier, you separate impulse from action and awaken to holiness within.
