Blood as Life: Inner Atonement

Leviticus 17:10-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 17 in context

Scripture Focus

10And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
12Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
13And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Leviticus 17:10-14

Biblical Context

Life is in the blood and is offered for atonement; blood is not to be eaten by Israelites or strangers.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this law, I hear a mirror for your inner diet. The life of the flesh is in the blood, and the altar represents your I AM awareness where meaning is poured, clarified, and renewed. To 'eat blood' is to ingest energy without honoring its source; it is a symbol for taking in experiences or thoughts without recognizing the life behind them. When you revise your state and acknowledge the I AM as the sustaining reality, you enact atonement by aligning every appetite with that awareness. Pour out the old beliefs that drain vitality, dust them from your scene, and let the new life move in their place. The stranger that sojourns among you is simply a stray impulse; you set your face toward life by choosing thoughts that support wholeness, and the life-blood within you becomes clear, active, and purposeful. You are the living altar, and your consciousness is the life it bears. The command here is not punishment but invitation to awaken your inner life and restore harmony between your inner state and its expression.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in the I AM, revise a persistent belief by saying, 'I am life and vitality now.' Feel that life-blood moving through you and replacing old patterns with living energy.
