Inner Feasts of Being

Neville's Inner Vision

Wherever you stand in time, these verses do not demand ritual for its own sake, but reveal the inner seasons of consciousness. Three times a year the outer people gathered, but the law speaks to the inner state: unleavened bread is the removal of the old leaven of fear and doubt; harvest and ingathering are the inner sowing and gathering of your true fruits in consciousness before the LORD, the I AM. The instruction that all males appear before the LORD points to the unity of your attention, the single consciousness that can stand before the Presence without doubt. The words are not about geography but about alignment: you revise and present yourself to your own God-state, your unchanging I AM, and treat it as real in your daily life. The feasts become imaginative acts: you declare, in the silence of awareness, that you are free of stale thought, that your labors yield firstfruits, and that your inner year ends in gathered fullness of life. As you keep them, you are learning to live from the Presence rather than for it, and your seeing alters your outer experience by the I AM.
