Inner Offering, Holy Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer ceremony points to your inner practice. The remaining meat offering is the vitality still in your mind after the day's demands, and eating it without leaven signifies consuming pure thought; absence of ego, false self, or illusions. Beside the altar, the focal point is your own I AM, awareness that does the tasting, the choosing, the sealing of what you accept as real. To read this as a command is to miss the mystery: the law is a mirror of your interior condition. When you align with the I AM and declare, 'I am holy now,' you move the meat from a stale ritual into a living energy you feed with deliberate attention. The holiness of the sacrifice arises not from the rite but from the consciousness that regards it as already accomplished. In practice, you determine the state you desire and mentally consume the 'offering' at your inner altar, letting the old self dissolve in the fire of awareness.
