Endless Priesthood Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Hebrews 7:23 speaks in the language of inner life: the 'many priests' are the changing states of consciousness we entertain as mediators of our experience. Each priest is a belief, a habit, or a role we play in our inner temple. Their deaths symbolize the moment a thought expires or an old pattern dissolves; the succession is not proof of life's end but proof that only one thing remains constant—your I AM, the witness of awareness. When you identify with mortal priesthood, you mistake form for reality and worship impermanence. When you remember the I AM within, all those priests dissolve into a single, stable presence that does not die or retire. The true worship is alignment with this inner Presence, recognizing that covenant and holiness are not contingent on external rites but on the steady sense, 'I am.' The verse quietly nudges you to abandon the belief in a succession of mediators and to claim the eternal you who is always priest, always sanctified, always present.
