Inner Boundaries of Holiness

Leviticus 21:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 21 in context

Scripture Focus

5They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Leviticus 21:5

Biblical Context

Leviticus 21:5 lays out outward restraints on appearance as a sign of holiness and separation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of holiness not as external ritual but as a state of consciousness you inhabit. The forbidding of baldness, beard trimming, and flesh markings points to guarding the integrity of your I AM. When you imagine yourself under these symbols you are teaching your mind to treat the body as the garment of your divine state, not a canvas for fear or fashion. The true law is the law of your inner condition: you are already complete, and any attempt to alter appearance is an unconscious belief in lack. By turning attention from outward forms to the I AM you align with a single unchanging reality: you are holiness expressed as consciousness. The body then mirrors that state, not by obeying a ritual, but reflecting steadiness, cleanliness of desire, and fidelity to your true nature. In this view obedience becomes faithfulness to the present I AM, not submission to external fashion.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are the I AM now; revise any sense of incompleteness by declaring, I AM whole, unaltered, and complete. Feel it real in your body and watch your outer expression harmonize with that inner truth.
