Entry of Pure Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse is not about external gates but the threshold of your own consciousness. The city is the state of awareness you inhabit; defilement, abomination, and lies are mis-takes of thought, not punishments laid upon you by heaven. If your awareness holds that you are separate, guilty, or unworthy, you are imagining a defiled state; if you revise by returning to the I AM, you find you are already clean, for the record of your life is written in the Lamb's book of life within your own being. The key is not moral struggle but inner recognition: the pure you is the one who knows the truth about yourself as consciousness that cannot be defiled. As you dwell in that understood presence, you dissolve the belief in defilement and enter the steady, unsullied light of the city. The moment you affirm your unity with God, you claim your right to live in that incorruptible kingdom here and now.
