Neville Goddard on Leviticus 16:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 16 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;

2And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.

Leviticus 16:1-2

Biblical Context

God instructs Aaron to approach the holy place with reverence and purification, not at all times, for the divine presence dwells on the mercy seat in a cloud of revelation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Leviticus 16:1-2 as a map of consciousness. The death of the two sons is a symbolic cue that the old ego cannot inhabit the pure space where the I AM dwells. The veil is the boundary of attention, not a wall of stone, and the instruction to Aaron to not enter at all times marks a discipline of perception: access arises when reverence and mercy guide the imagination. The mercy seat is the focal point of awareness—the place where God, the I AM, reveals itself as a cloud of revelation. When you align with that inner condition, outward circumstance bows to your inner reality; presence is a state you cultivate, not an event imposed from outside. Thus true worship is the daily act of living in the I AM, until that awareness can rest as your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume the I AM as your constant presence, enter the mercy seat within, and feel the cloud of revelation resting on you. Revise any sense of lack by affirming, I am always here in the presence of God.
