Inner Fire and Sacred Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Plainly, the scene shows sacred fire from the LORD consuming Nadab and Abihu for offering unprescribed worship, a stark measurement of holiness and accountability. But in the Neville manner, we read it as an inner movement of consciousness: the LORD is your I AM, and the fire is the arising truth that purges false assumptions. When you insist on spiritual shows that do not arise from reverence, when imagination is used to impress others rather than to awaken your own presence, the inner flame consumes the old self and you feel the end of that phase. The act of dying before the LORD is not a fearsome fate but a turning toward authentic worship: your attention is drawn back to what you truly acknowledge as divine. If you sense heat, pressure, or judgment, revise your state by assuming you are already in perfect presence. Practice imagining a pure, consecrated offering of yourself—attentive, grateful, and aligned with your I AM—and feel it real within. In that felt shift, the outer effect and the inner flame harmonize, revealing the presence you have always been.
