Inner Peace Offering Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a state of consciousness, this passage teaches that your peace is a gift you must acknowledge now, not later. When it says you shall offer it at your own will, imagine that you are freely choosing alignment with the I AM in this moment. The 'same day' eating signifies that the feeling of harmony must be consumed in present awareness; any delay—what would be kept for a third day—speaks of procrastination and the purging fire of time destroying the sacred quality you sought to establish. If you attempt to claim peace after a delay and 'eat' it on the third day, you expose your tendency to profane the holy by treating it as a future possession rather than your immediate state. The consequence, 'cut off from among his people,' can be understood as the inner isolation you impose when you refuse to inhabit your divine state; you distance yourself from your true community with the I AM. The law thus becomes a reminder: true worship is not ritual but the consistent assumption of a consciousness in which peace and holiness are your natural condition.
