Ruth 3:3 Inner Purification

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth 3:3 places outward ritual as a symbol for inward discipline. Wash away doubt, anoint your mind with a fixed purpose, dress yourself in the consciousness you seek, and descend to the floor of your awareness. The command to reveal yourself only after the man has eaten and drunk is not about concealment from a person but about waiting until your inner appetite for the fulfilled wish has been met by the feast of awareness you have supplied. Boaz stands for the I AM within you—your higher self who recognizes a completed desire when the conditions of consciousness are right. By cleansing, affirming, and clothing yourself in a new state, you align belief, memory, and action. Descending to the floor anchors that new state deep in your being; withholding premature revelation allows the inner motion to complete and solidify before it appears outwardly. This is obedience to an inner law: your world rises from the imaginal act of assuming the wish is already true.
