Neville Goddard on Leviticus 1:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

Leviticus 1:3

Biblical Context

The verse prescribes presenting a blemish-free male from the herd as a voluntary burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle before the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your being is the sanctuary; the verse invites you to stand at the inner door of your tabernacle and present a state you choose to call unblemished. The burnt offering becomes not a beast but a decision of consciousness: to align with your I AM now, willingly and without reservation. The blemish is fear, doubt, or habit that blocks full self-expression. By choosing with your voluntary will to offer this self into the flame of awareness, you burn away limitation and return to the God within in wholeness. The LORD is the living awareness that witnesses your act; when you are conscious of this I AM, your inner life and outer expression harmonize. Thus the scene is a practical reminder: you must assume the state you desire, and feel that you are already there. The offering is the act of revision performed in consciousness, delivering you to a state where you stand in seamless unity with that one presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, name a bound belief, and imagine walking to the inner door of your mind's tabernacle, offering that belief as a burnt sacrifice to the I AM; feel the release and awaken to wholeness.
