Neville Goddard on Hebrews 9:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 9 in context

Scripture Focus

11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Hebrews 9:11-12

Biblical Context

Hebrews 9:11-12 describes Christ as the great high priest entering the true heavenly sanctuary and securing eternal redemption not by earthly sacrifices but through a higher, inner reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Christ, imagined as the great high priest of good things to come, is not a distant figure but a state of consciousness you inhabit. The greater and more perfect tabernacle is the inner sanctuary of awareness, not a building; it is your life lived within the I AM. Not made with hands means reality is imaginal and accessible where you attend to your inner image. The line about not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood says: you are saved not by outward rites but by the decisive assumption that your inner image carries the power to redeem your life. Entering into the holy place and obtaining eternal redemption becomes the moment you accept that redemption is already yours here and now, as a permanent condition of mind. This invitation asks you to rest your competing thoughts and dwell in the certainty of your oneness with God in your present awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and, in vivid imagination, step through the inner curtain into the sanctuary of your I AM, whispering 'I am redeemed' until that certainty dominates your feeling. Let that feeling saturate every sense and opinion you hold about yourself.
