Inner Anointing Oil Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the oil and incense not as relics of a tented sanctuary but as living states of your own consciousness. The holy anointing oil is your I AM—awareness that anoints every thought, feeling, and action. The pure incense, sweet with spiritual spices, is the breath of prayer you carry into your imagination, a fragrance that clears doubt and invites truth to rise. The text tells us these substances were made by the apothecary, a craftsman using exact ingredients. So too is your mind the apothecary: you mix attention, faith, gratitude, and intention until a fragrant reality fills your inner room. This is not external ritual, but an inward decision to dwell in holiness and to separate your ordinary thinking from the divine I AM that you are. When you imagine the oil flowing through your being and the incense blessing your breath, you are rehearsing true worship—awareness worship. The result is not something you hunt; it is the natural fruit of a mind that has chosen to believe in its own imagining.
