Inner Altar Purification in Ezekiel

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Ezekiel text, the 'goats' and 'bullock' stand for the shifting images and impulses within the mind. The seven days of preparation are not outside rituals but the mind's sevenfold repetition of a revision, purging the altar of blemished beliefs and self-deceptions. When you read 'purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves,' hear it as commands to cleanse consciousness and align with the I AM presence. The altar is your current center of awareness; blemish denotes any thought or feeling that contradicts wholeness. By daily, imagined offerings you release limiting identifications and dedicate the self to divine order. In Neville's language, sacrifice becomes the act of relinquishing the old state and assuming a new one—the state that already is whole, pure, and consecrated. The seven days signal a disciplined return to love, not punishment. Imagination creates reality, so by repeatedly choosing a clean, holy posture, you transform the inner world, and outward events follow as the echo of that inner altar purified.
