Priest Within: Pure State
Hebrews 7:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hebrews 7:26 describes an ideal high priest who is holy, harmless, undefiled, and elevated beyond the ordinary. It invites us to recognize these traits as inner states of our own consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the 'high priest' is your inner governor—the I AM alive in the sanctuary of your mind. 'Became us' means this priestly state is not distant or future; it is a present function you may inhabit now by assuming the equivalent feelings. Holiness is not pious posturing but the steady alignment of thought with truth, a clear and undefiled awareness. Harmlessness and undefiledness describe a mind unmoved by judgment or corruption, radiating integrity in every decision. 'Separate from sinners' points to detachment from lower states—fear, pride, craving—through the certainty that your true self stands apart from them. 'Made higher than the heavens' indicates your consciousness can rise above the surface dramas when you abide in that I AM. The world bends to the reality you actively assume, so practice the revision until it feels real and unavoidable.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling: I AM holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from limitations, and exalted above all appearances. Feel it as already mine, and let the outer scene reflect that inner priesthood.
