Inner Temple Peace Offering

Leviticus 17:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 17 in context

Scripture Focus

5To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
Leviticus 17:5

Biblical Context

The verse shows sacrifices being brought to the LORD at the door of the tabernacle through the priest for peace offerings. The focus is on centralizing worship in a holy space, not merely ritual actions.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, the instruction is not about external ritual but about an inner act of worship. The open field where offerings happen symbolizes the scattered thoughts and desires of the mind; the door of the tabernacle marks the threshold of your inner awareness—the I AM that you are. By bringing the offerings to this threshold, you are choosing alignment with the divine presence within, not bargaining with an outside God. The peace offerings signify a harmony cultivated when your outer desires are offered to the LORD—the higher self within you—and welcomed by the inner priest, the attention that governs your thoughts. Centralization is the discipline of gathering energy in the inner temple rather than dispersing it in outward forms. Holiness and separation appear as a conscious choice to quiet the noise of fear, and to dwell in the stillness of awareness. In this inner act, the presence of God is felt as the I AM, and life flows from that recommissioned state of peace and creative power, visible in experience.

Practice This Now

Assume you are keeper of your inner temple; walk to the door of awareness and place every restless thought on the altar of I AM. Feel it-real by declaring 'I AM peace' until presence becomes your lived experience.
