What does Leviticus 19:2 mean?
Israel means to rule as God, and the whole congregation named here is the assembly of selves that are secretly one self, your own I AM. The LORD who is holy is that awareness of being within you, and to be told you shall be holy is to be told you share the nature of the very power that speaks.

Israel means to rule as God, and the whole congregation named here is the assembly of selves that are secretly one self, your own I AM. The LORD who is holy is that awareness of being within you, and to be told you shall be holy is to be told you share the nature of the very power that speaks. Holy means whole, undivided, set apart as the single cause of your world.
To rule as God is to know that the one saying I am in you is the maker, and that every neighbor is yourself pushed out to bear witness. Loving your neighbor as yourself is not sentiment but recognition, since all these separate faces regroup into the one being that is you. You are holy in the measure that you claim this awareness as the one power and lay the whole of it to no other.

Live Leviticus 19:2 today
- For one minute today, drop the running list of what is wrong with you and sit as whole, as is, nothing missing. Set a timer if it helps.
- Treat one person today, the barista, the coworker, the relative who annoys you, as the same life you are. Nothing said, just how you look at them.
- When you are criticized or compared today, stay undivided. Hear the useful part, let the rest pass, and do not split yourself into the small version to receive it.
If nothing in me is actually missing, what would I stop trying to earn today?
