Purity of the Inner Offering

Neville's Inner Vision

Within me, the people of Israel are my inner faculties, and the holy things are the sacred thoughts and feelings I tend. To 'heave from it the best of it' means to draw from the storehouse of my consciousness the finest image or state I cultivate—confidence, purity, love—and set it upon the altar of my daily living. When I offer the best, I bear no sin—no guilt-state clings to my imagination, no contamination of my sacred space. Polluting the holy things, allowing baser thoughts, fears, or judgments to enter, is like letting the inner temple decay; that decay drains life and can feel like death. The message is not about external ritual, but about fidelity to my inner worship: keep my thoughts aligned with my highest states, honor them, and my life is preserved as vitality and clarity. So, purity is a decision of consciousness—an act of faith in the reality I am imagining.
