Inner Covenant of Blood
Leviticus 17:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that blood shall not be eaten; a boundary is set between the inner life and the external. It speaks to purity, holiness, and loyalty to covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider not a culinary decree but a statement about the inner cookery of consciousness. Blood in scripture is the life you emit; to eat it is to feed on the vitality of others or of old traumas. By forbidding blood, the law asks you to refuse the intake of living force from anything outside your present sense of self. The 'you' in Leviticus is the I AM, the witnessing awareness that must remain undiluted by borrowed energies. The stranger who sojourneth among you represents stray thoughts and identifications that would drink from your life-stream. When you allow such eating, you lose the unity of your selfhood; when you refuse, you preserve holiness, integrity, and covenant loyalty to your own being. The ritual becomes a symbolic practice of allegiance to the I AM, a conscious boundary that keeps your inner world clear for elation, work, and love. This is not punishment but arrangement: align with the life that you truly are, and the outer will follow in rapport with your inner state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM as your constant state. Revise the habit of feeding on others' life and feel a warm boundary forming in your chest as real.
