Hebrews 5:5-6

Biblical Context

Hebrews 5:5-6 states that Christ did not appoint himself as high priest; rather, God declares his Sonship and appoints him to an eternal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, these verses reveal that the office of priesthood is not earned by self-exaltation but born from the inner declaration of your true identity. Christ's refusal to glorify himself shows that the high priesthood is a gift from the I AM, spoken as, Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee. When you accept that inner voice, you step into an eternal line of priesthood—not of external service, but of inner consciousness. The 'order of Melchizedek' becomes the timeless pattern of your own awareness, a state of being that remains unchanged by outward circumstance. The Sonship you hear within is not history but present fact: you are the priest within your own temple, able to offer sacrifices of attachment, fear, and doubt to the altar of awareness. By aligning with this inner authority, you cast out lack, and the world reflects the harmony of your assumed reality back to you. The key is not striving but accepting the inner appointment and acting from that reality in every moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am the Son of God; I am the high priest in the inner temple. Feel the I AM’s ruling calm; revise every thought of lack by dwelling in your eternal priesthood, seat yourself there and imagine the world bending to your realized state.
