Neville Goddard on Hebrews 9:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

7But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

Hebrews 9:6-7

Biblical Context

The passage distinguishes two rooms: the outer service of priests in the first tabernacle, and the annual inner rite of the high priest in the second, offered for the people’s errors. It signals that outward ritual points to inner states of consciousness, with true cleansing coming from entering the inner sanctuary in awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Two rooms, two acts, one consciousness. In Neville's view, the first tabernacle is the everyday business of life—outward service to God as if there were a distance between you and the divine. The second room, entered by the high priest once a year, is not a historical ritual but the moment the I AM steps into the deepest register of self, washing away mistaken identities—the errors of the people. The blood offered is the energy of attention freed from fear and habit. When you imagine the high priest entering the second room 'with blood,' you reinterpret every past mistake as a misreading of yourself, a belief in lack that wants to be replaced by awareness of fullness. The inner rite is a revision: you return to the I AM at the center of your being, and the sense of distance between you and God dissolves. This is not about external ritual; it is about aligning your living consciousness with the one true priest—the self who knows it is already forgiven, already one with all.

Practice This Now

Practice: Assume 'I AM' as the inner high priest and declare, 'I am whole and forgiven.' Then visualize entering the second tabernacle, washing away old errors with the light of awareness.
