Blood as Life, Presence Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this ancient code you are told to bring the offering to the door of the tent and to abstain from consuming blood, for the life of the flesh is in the blood and it makes atonement. In Neville's light, the door is the threshold of your own consciousness; the Israelites and the strangers are the states of you, the ruler and the guest within, who must let an offering be raised in awareness before the I AM. The sacrifice is not a ritual apart from you but an inner movement of attention—the shift from fear or habit to reverent, chosen consciousness. The blood speaks of vitality; when you accept that the 'life' of any form is energy within your imagination, you place the altar at the center of your being and your old appetites fall away. The atonement is the correction of inner states into harmony with your divine I AM; the command not to eat blood becomes a discipline of keeping that life-energy offered up through the act of imagining, not consumed as fear or force but consecrated to the Presence.
