Exodus 29:37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 29 in context

Biblical Context
Exodus 29:37 commands seven days of atonement and sanctification for the altar, declaring it holy. It teaches that whatever touches the holy state is transformed by it.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the text, the altar is not stone but the center of your consciousness—the I AM that you are. Seven days of attention are needed to consecrate that center, a retreat of the mind from doubt into the feeling of ultimate reality. Atonement is not punishment but a restoration of memory to its true identity, a cleansing of misbelief that you are separate from the light that you already are. As you hold that state, the whole person and all experiences touched by you become holy, for contact with a sanctified state cannot carry uncleanness back into it. Your daily life acquires the taste of sacredness because your imagination is the law of your world. When you assume the altar is most holy, you invite the conditions of life to align with that holiness, and what previously seemed ordinary is now irradiated by the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: For seven days, sit for a few minutes, declare 'The I AM sanctifies this altar; everything that touches it becomes holy,' and visualize your daily moments as offerings on a gleaming inner altar.
