Inner Offerings of the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the offerings are not mere animal rites but inner states of consciousness. The burnt offering signals total surrender to the I AM, the consuming of self-identity until only the divine awareness remains. The meat and drink offerings represent daily thoughts and emotions poured into the altar, a conscious giving up of what you cling to as 'mine.' The sprinkling of blood for the peace offerings denotes the sealing of a new covenant with your inner Presence—the cleansing of fear, the setting apart of your life to holiness. When you read 'upon the altar,' envision the altar as your own awareness, the place where all movement of mind and heart is tenderly consecrated. This is not external worship but interior alignment; the Presence of God is the vivid awareness that you are, right now, the I AM that you claim. The ritual becomes a practical revision: you alter your state, and your world follows.
