Inner Vow, Hair of Holiness
Numbers 6:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of a vow of separation to the LORD, during which no razor cuts the hair, symbolizing ongoing inner consecration and holiness until the vow is fulfilled. It marks the commitment to inner purity and to separate from the ordinary, for the sake of a higher awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Numbers 6:5 speaks not of a ritual on stone, but of a movement within the consciousness. The vow of separation is a decision of the I AM, the timeless you that never shatters under pressure. The razor's absence is the mind's choice not to cut away what it vows to honor; hair grows as a living sign of that pledge. As long as the vow endures, you do not trim the symbol of your allegiance; you allow the hair to lengthen, just as you allow your awareness to expand toward the holy. The LORD here is your I AM presence, the inner altar of attention; holiness is the steady state of living in that awareness, not in mere outward ritual. Separation is an inner discipline—what you feed with attention grows; what you withhold remains revealed. Thus the hair's continual growth depicts a sustained inner cultivation, an ongoing alignment with the sacred. When the days are fulfilled, the vow's completion is the moment your inner order becomes visible in experience.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already the vow of separation—feel your awareness lengthen like hair, untouched by doubt; when distraction arises, revise mentally: 'I am holy unto the I AM, and my consciousness grows as I tend to the sacred within.'
