Neville Goddard on Leviticus 5:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 5 in context

Scripture Focus

2Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.

3Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.

Leviticus 5:2-3

Biblical Context

The verses say that touching anything unclean makes one unclean and guilty, and touching another's uncleanness makes you guilty once you know it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus speaks in the language of touch, but the real uncleanness is a state you entertain in consciousness. When you touch an unclean thing, you do not transfer dirt; you entertain a belief that you are other than the I AM. The moment you become aware of that belief, you have identified with it and call it guilt because you have given it life. The remedy is not ritual punishment but inner revision: return your attention to the true self that is always pure awareness. See that the dirt is only an appearance in your dream, not a fact about you. By assuming the state of pure consciousness, by feeling yourself as the unconditioned I AM, you wash away the touched belief. Your only crime is to forget who you are; your only forgiveness is to reclaim your nature.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume: I am pure awareness, untouched by appearances. Feel the I AM reclaiming you and revise any troubling thought as you would wipe away a mist.
