Inner Source of Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Jesus’ statement redirects us from external rituals to the inner life of consciousness. The ‘mouth’ that defiles is the mouth of your awareness, the stream of thoughts and assumptions you have accepted as true. Defilement arises when your inner speech mirrors fear, division, or judgment, for that is what you have identified as real. If you renew your sense of I AM—the single, universal consciousness that you are—your words will align with wholeness, unity, and holiness. Imagine that you are always speaking from the state of your own divine awareness, and your outward life follows suit. The diet of the body matters little beside the nourishment of your inner convictions. By changing the conditions of your mind—your assumptions about life, right, and others—you alter the output of your mouth. In this light, purity is not a rule to obey but an inner condition to inhabit, felt, rehearsed, and spoken from the acknowledged I AM.
