Inner Life-Blood Atonement

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, this command is not dietary but a law of inner life. The 'life of the flesh is in the blood' reveals that the energy animating you is your continuous state of consciousness—the I AM you claim as yours. To eat blood is to affirm separation and to drain your life by fear or guilt; it cuts you from your inner community—your own sense of being. The altar in the verse is the chapel of your own attention, where you offer back to consciousness the belief that you are Life, that the I AM is the source of every breath. When you stand in that conviction and feel it as real, the atonement occurs, not by ritual but by a shift of state: you are no longer alien to Life but the living I AM. Holiness and integrity emerge as you maintain that inner truth, and the outer world moves in harmony with your revised feeling.
