Altar Within Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember: the land and the goings-on in Samuel are states of your consciousness. The spoil you seize and the eating with blood are pictures of appetite running unregulated in the mind. I am the I AM that sees these movements, and I call them transgressions when they violate the inner law. The great stone rolled to Saul represents a shift in your inner machinery—a boundary you roll into place so appetite cannot move you to act against the I AM. When the people slay the oxen there, you perform the inner sacrifice, not to appease an external deity, but to align your impulse with divine order. The altar Saul builds is an inner altar—a decision to consecrate consciousness to lawful living, the first of many such acts. Your task is to BE the one who builds altars of obedience within, turning impulse into service and making your covenant loyalty real in experience.
