Gate of Pure Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, Psalm 24:4 reveals a state, not merely a rule. Clean hands denote deeds that flow from your higher self; a pure heart signifies thoughts and motives aligned with truth rather than ego; not lifting the soul unto vanity means refusing to seek self-glorification in appearances or reputation; nor sworn deceitfully guards your words, ensuring they reflect inner reality rather than fear or cleverness. In this reading, purity is an inner condition you assume and inhabit. When I dwell in that state—awareness that is untouched by judgment or fear—the outer world begins to mirror it. Imagination becomes the instrument of that reality: I imagine myself moving with integrity, and I speak from truth as I am the I AM. The practice is revision and feeling-it-real: revise any memory of unclean action, affirm, 'I am pure,' and let the embodied sense of truth saturate my being until doubt dissolves. By this inward obedience, consciousness shifts, and life answers from that sacred state.
