The Inner Temple Cleansing
Leviticus 21:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 21:23 states that a priest with a blemish cannot enter the veil or approach the altar, to prevent profaning God’s sanctuaries. It speaks to holiness as an inner condition that guards the inner sanctuary.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville’s lens, the blemish is not a scar on the skin but a belief in unworthiness that you keep repeating to yourself. The law in Leviticus 21:23 says the priest with a blemish cannot enter the veil or approach the altar, a symbol that holiness requires the mind to be aligned with the I AM. When you identify with that belief, you profane your own sanctuaries by staying in the sense of lack. The truth is that the I AM sanctifies the temple; your real self is spotless and present. Therefore you must refuse the lie, and assume the state of the sanctified temple here and now. Enter the inner sanctum by consent, not fear, and feel the presence of I AM filling every chamber. The exclusion becomes a gentle reminder that holiness is a state of awareness you choose to inhabit. Rest in the sensation of being welcomed into the sanctuary, and observe your inner atmosphere aligning with divine purpose.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already in the inner sanctuary. Revise the belief of blemish into 'I AM purity now' and feel it real for several minutes.
