Leviticus 1:7-8

Biblical Context

The verses describe the priests methodically placing fire, wood, and body parts on the altar as a structured act of sacrifice. It portrays worship as an orderly, deliberate offering to God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the altar as your own mind. Fire is desire, the willingness to have it now. Wood is the means by which desire is carried into form - disciplined thoughts, feelings, and actions laid in order upon the flame. The parts, the head, and the fat symbolize elements of yourself you offer to this fire: the leading ideas (the head), your vitality and fullness of being (the fat), and the little supportive channels that keep the whole alive. When the sons of Aaron place them in order on the wood, you are learning to arrange your consciousness so that nothing is scattered and nothing is left to chance. The presence of God is not out there but within your awareness - when your inner rituals are orderly, your I AM stands forward as witness. This is not a history lesson but a precise practice: assume the state you desire with all consistency, revise any lingering limitation, and feel the scene so vividly that it becomes your living assumption. The outward world then mirrors the inner altar you have so carefully prepared.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, visualize an inner altar with a bright flame. Place the wood of orderly thoughts on the flame and offer each part of yourself, affirming I AM here now and letting the scene feel real.
