Innate Purity at the Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is not a place in space but a state of consciousness. 'I will wash mine hands in innocency' is a declaration that you deliberately purify your inner stance before taking action. 'Altar' is the inner altar of your awareness where you commune with the I AM. To 'compass' the altar means to encircle your life with a ring of reverent attention, so every thought and motive is tender and true. When you imagine washing, see the grime of fear, guilt, compromise leaving your thoughts, and you stand in the radiance of innocence, a present tense of right action. The purification is not external ritual but a revision of your sense of self—awareness that you are the I AM, and that your acts flow from that purity. Begin each moment by identifying with the I AM, then let the feeling of innocence fill your decisions, so your worship is not a ritual apart but the heartbeat of your daily life.
