Numbers 5:31 Inner Innocence

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 5:31 speaks in the language of an old ritual, yet the real drama is inside: the 'man' is the center of your consciousness that declares itself guiltless; the 'woman' is the partner of your belief, the emotional current that can bear a charged sense of guilt when misperceived. When you awaken to the I Am that watches and says, 'I am innocent now,' you disentangle the outer consequence from the inner condition. The verse does not condemn or reward others; it exposes the law of consciousness: what you hold in awareness becomes your experienced world. To the degree you live from the state of guiltlessness, you stand free of iniquity; to the degree you entertain accusation, you carry the burden, even if only as a memory. The ritual illustrates the shift from judgment to consciousness—by recognizing your own innocence you release the other from assumed guilt, and all apparent personal history is seen as a dream of the mind.
