Bitter Water Inner Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the priest's writing as the continual record of thoughts you entertain about yourself and the world. The bitter water is not a physical draught but the emotion produced by your attention to accusation. When the woman drinks, the belief enters as a felt reality; bitterness is the taste of fear becoming your experience. The act of blotting out the curses with a book mirrors your power to erase a thought by withdrawing belief from it. The commandments and the ritual point you to a single truth: you are the I AM, the consciousness in which all events arise. To change what you experience, do not chase the outer signs; revise the inner scene. Think a new verdict about yourself and your life, and immerse yourself in the feeling of that state until it is your present sensation. If you can imagine that you are already pure, intact, and free, the bitter water loses its sting because the inner state has shifted. The curse dissolves as the mind rests in its own holiness, and your world aligns with the perception of your true nature.
