Elijah's Inner Sacrifice Ritual

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this scene as not about animal and altar but about your own mind. The wood is the frame of your decision; Elijah’s act of ordering it in order is the discipline by which you arrange your thoughts. The bullock, cut in pieces and laid on the wood, represents the old self segmented and offered to a higher purpose. The four barrels of water poured on the sacrifice and on the wood symbolize the flooding of your emotional energy—not to drown the flame, but to saturate every niggling pattern with faith that the fire you seek already resides in you. In this perspective, the 'fire from heaven' is the awareness that you are I AM, your consciousness choosing a new reality. When you assume the act of pouring water, you are declaring that perception itself can be altered; you are aligning with the truth that imagination, not external event, creates the outcome. The ritual becomes a mental rehearsal that precedes any event; you awaken to the feeling of the fire within, and the outside world follows the inner state.
