Inner Sabbath Offerings

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s vision, the prince is the ruler of your inner life, the I AM that governs your states. The Sabbath signifies a deliberate rest from the constant self-activity of fear and desire, a moment to affirm that you already belong to a higher order of reality. The six blemishless lambs and the ram are not literal creatures but fixed images your imagination offers to the I AM, each purified state you choose to entertain as true. The meat offering measured in an ephah for a ram and for the lambs, with oil added to an ephah, is the way you scale your inner substance: the form you give your image is matched by the energy you flood it with. The oil is feeling—trust, reverence, certainty—that animates the form. When you practice this on Sabbath or any finite moment, you are rehearsing that your inner world commands outward experience. The outer becomes possible because you have revised the inner; the I AM accepts your offerings as you persist in feeling them real.
