Inner Boundaries of Sacred Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, this verse is not a decree about marriage but a map of your inner state. The High Priest represents your most sacred center of awareness—the still point that must remain undefiled by every passing image. A widow, a divorced woman, profane, or harlot are names of old, habitual impulses that have carried you away from the unity of your true twofold existence: spirit and body, idea and form. By insisting he take a virgin from his own people, the scripture invites you to re-create your inner nation: a fresh, pure, unmixed consciousness that belongs to the very 'people' of your own inner identity. Purity, not as judgment upon others, but as a discipline of attention: a loyalty to a single, untainted state of awareness in which every thought, desire, and feeling is aligned with your essential I AM. When you dwell in that state, boundaries become loving guardrails that protect your perception from lower images, and holiness becomes your natural measure of what you permit to enter your temple.
