Inner Anointing: Ear, Hand, Foot

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner kingdom, the blood is not a literal thing to be shed but a symbol of turning from a belief of separation to a life of oneness. The ear stands for perception, the hand for action, and the foot for direction; when the trespass offering's blood touches these faculties, the sense of guilt is acknowledged and released, and integrity begins to reform. I realize that I am not cleansing God, but awakening to the truth that the I AM in me is Presence, here and now, restoring what I call clean. The oil poured into the priest's left palm represents the Spirit poured into my consciousness; my right finger, dipped in that oil, sprinkles seven times before the Lord, an act of persistent renewal—complete, sevenfold in the sense of total alignment. The remaining oil, laid upon the ear, the hand, and the foot, seals this new state within every sense, every deed, and every step. I am cleansed; I am restored; I am present, and God dwells within my very being.
