Death Touch, Inner Purity
Numbers 19:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Numbers 19:16 states that contact with a slain person, a dead body, a bone, or a grave renders a person unclean for seven days.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take Numbers 19:16 as a map of your inner landscape: the 'impurity' is not a law over matter, but a belief you have conceded to in a state of consciousness. To touch death in the field is to touch a belief that you are separated from your own unwavering life. The seven days symbolize a period of reconsideration—a liminal space where you re-commit to your I AM presence. When you acknowledge that your awareness is always the source of every scene, you reverse the impression that death has power over you. In your present imagination, you declare that nothing in your world can contaminate the livingness of your consciousness, for you are the one who stands as the Almighty I AM in all states. By mentally revising your state, by imagining the process as already complete, the old sense of uncleanness dissolves, and the inner field resets to holiness.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of I AM Pure now and feel it real until this truth permeates your entire being; revise the memory of death by affirming that your consciousness is the sole reality and can never be polluted.
