One Sacrifice Within: The I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this counsel, the high priest is your I AM, the constant awareness that never changes. The daily high priests and their offerings reflect a belief in continual sacrifice and separation. Yet the verse declares a singular act: He offered himself once. That offering is not a past event out there, but the moment you identify with your true Self—your I AM—and relinquish the sense of a divided mind. When you feel yourself as whole, the so-called sins—habits of fear, guilt, limitation—are offered up to the light of consciousness and dissolved. The 'people' are only states of consciousness; when you stand as the one consciousness, judgments fall away. The one-time act endures because it is a reversal of identity, not a ritual to repeat. Therefore you need not daily penance or ritual, for you stand now in the freedom of your being, the steady peace that follows from realizing I AM.
