Inner Offerings, Inner Peace
Leviticus 17:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
These verses describe bringing sacrifices to the LORD and the priest’s ritual of sprinkling blood and burning fat. Spiritually, they signify offering inner states and refining consciousness to please the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville’s ear, the open field and the door of the tabernacle are inner thresholds. The LORD is the I AM that you are, and the sacrifices are not an animal rite but a decision of consciousness. When you bring the offerings to the door of your inner sanctuary, you are choosing what to value—gratitude, patience, faith, or vision—and you place them at the altar of awareness. The priest who sprinkles the blood represents the action of purification: you revise each limiting belief until the noise of fear no longer pollutes your atmosphere. Burning the fat for a sweet savour is the refining of feeling, the moment when your inner warmth is released as a pleasing aroma to the I AM. Peace offerings point to the result: a mind at rest, a sense of abundance, a harmony that does not depend on outer circumstances. The ritual reveals that the real temple is within, and that your imagination and faith are the priest and the blood and the scent that make the presence of God a felt truth in your life.
Practice This Now
Practice: In stillness, assume you already belong to the inner temple. Bring a personal offering—gratitude or a goal—to the door of your awareness, feel the cleansing of old beliefs as you imagine a drop of light on the altar, and breathe in the sweet savour of peace as your state becomes your reality.
