23And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:

24And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

Leviticus 16:23-24

Biblical Context

Aaron removes linen garments, washes in the holy place, then returns to offer the burnt offering and make atonement for himself and the people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner temple, Leviticus 16:23-24 invites you to disrobe from the old self-image—the linen garments of yesterday’s claims—and wash in the cleansing stream of awareness. The washing in the holy place is not an outward rite but a renewal of your thoughts and feelings, a realignment with the I AM that you are. When you put on new garments, you are choosing a renewed state of consciousness—purity, intention, and a fresh sense of belonging to the inner Presence. The burnt offering and the atonement for the people symbolize living from that state, allowing the harmony of your inner God-self to express through your life. Your act is simple: assume you are already the consciousness God knows you to be, and feel it through till it becomes your reality. In this practice, holiness is present, practical, and immediate—your inner dress, your daily offering, creating a world that reflects your renewed self.

Practice This Now

Practice: In the moment, imagine stepping out of the old linen garment and washing in a stream of awareness. Then clothe yourself in a radiant garment and declare, 'I am whole, I am present, I am at one with God.'
