Altar of Inner Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the 'fat that covereth the inwards' is the ego's self-importance masking true consciousness; the 'caul above the liver' and the 'two kidneys' symbolize protective, habitual tissues of fear, desire, and identity. When the priest places these on the altar and burns them, the inner man is simplified—an act of consent by the I AM that nothing in you remains to feed the old self. The 'flesh of the bullock, his skin, and his dung' burned outside the camp stands for the residual forms by which you still define yourself in separation from the Whole; by burning them, you release the outgrowths of memory and action that keep you bound to the past. The sin offering is not punishment but a disciplined cleansing, a turning away from false thoughts to a single, awake awareness. In the stillness, imagine the I AM as the fire within, consuming and transmuting the image of self into pure spirit.
