Inner Sacrifice Clarity

Neville's Inner Vision

That decree points to a truth I must own in my own awareness: nothing blemished in form can please the I AM, because the altar is my inner consciousness. The blemish is never out there; it is a misalignment in my current state of being—doubt, fear, limitation—that I keep attending to as if it were real. When I notice such a defect, I do not rationalize it; I reframe it. I imagine a perfect image and dwell in the feeling that it is already present. I offer that unblemished image to the LORD MY GOD—the I AM within—until my sense of self rises to match it. The law is not punishment but alignment: by refusing to honor a defective picture, I am choosing purity of worship, a pure state of consciousness. The moment I treat the end as my now, the mind's altar is cleaned, and the world answers in harmony with that inner state. Thus the blemish disappears not by changing the outer world but by changing what I accept as true in my own imagination.
