Inner Purification with Cedar Hyssop

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner light, Numbers 19:6 becomes a map of your states of consciousness. Cedar stands for steadfast awareness; hyssop for the cleansing of memory, and scarlet for the vital energy you would move out of impurity and into form. The priest is you, the I AM, who observes and administers the inner purification. When you imagine casting these symbols into the fire of belief, you are not purging something outside you; you are reordering your inner atmosphere. The heifer's fire represents the process by which old identifications burn away, leaving a clearer sense of self. The act teaches that purification is an inward shift of state—an interior sacrament of holiness and separation—from limitation toward a more capacious consciousness. As you persist in the imaginative act, you begin to inhabit the state you are assuming: a self that is clean, free, and aligned with your true self. Remember: the power to purify rests in your sense of being, not in external ceremonies; imagination is the instrument that makes what you assume become your lived reality.
