The Inner High Priest

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Hebrews 8:3, the priest’s work points to the nature of your inner life. The high priest is not idle; he is defined by what he offers. In the quiet of your awareness, the I AM, the inner priest, must likewise offer something to the altar of God within. Gifts and sacrifices are not peculiar outside rites; they are shifts of consciousness: a moment of gratitude, a surrender of fear, a decision to bless rather than judge. The necessity that 'this man have somewhat to offer' means that your state of consciousness cannot remain static; it must express itself as a felt reality in your heart. When you assume the role of the priest in your mind, you align with the law that creates your world: you supply the inner condition and the outer manifesting follows. If you insist that you are separate from your own divine activity, you block the flow. But when you feel yourself as the living priest, offering a genuine gift, the inner altar glows with substance, and your life harmonizes with that truth.
