Inner Cleanse of Leviticus 22:8
Leviticus 22:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
That which dieth of itself or is torn with beasts should not be eaten, lest you defile yourself. Holiness is found in guarding the inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
View this verse as a mirror of your inner economy. What dies of itself represents beliefs that have ceased to serve your rising life; feeding on them would defile the temple of your consciousness. What is torn with beasts embodies the turbulent passions and conflicting stories that gnaw at your peace. The LORD declares, I AM, that your essential self remains untouched by decay or strife when you rest in awareness. In this Neville reading, you are not the decayed memory nor the quarrel within; you are the consciousness that witnesses them. Your imagination becomes a new diet: you choose thoughts and images that sustain your sense of being rather than corrode it. By claiming the I AM as your reality, you revise the data of your mind and thereby heal the structure you inhabit. Holiness, then, is a present practice of choosing a state of consciousness over the old, of aligning with the eternal I AM rather than the transient, decaying content of past experiences. The command becomes a reminder that you govern your inner environment by awareness.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit with eyes closed and assume the I AM presence as your permanent state. Feel it real for five minutes, revising any lingering decay or conflict into a fresh possibility from the I AM.
