Neville Goddard on Leviticus 2:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 2 in context

Scripture Focus

15And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

16And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Leviticus 2:15-16

Biblical Context

Leviticus 2:15-16 speaks of an oil and frankincense offering, whose memorial is burned by the priest as a deliberate act of devotion. It hints that the meal offering—ordinary daily sacrifice—becomes a spiritual practice offered to God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the oil upon it is a symbol of your awareness you wish to set upon a problem or situation. The frankincense is the fragrance of constant gratitude, a mental attention that blesses rather than resists. The meal offering—the beaten corn—represents your daily acts and the energy you bring to them; the oil thereof, your persistent life-consciousness. The priest burning the memorial of it signifies the inner act of burning away memory that no longer serves, a purification by fire that leaves you with the truth of your I AM presence. When you imagine the ritual, you realize that the offering is made in consciousness; the LORD is not distant but within your I AM, your awareness. So the practice becomes spiritual psychology: you assume that you are the one who decrees reality, you revise your sense of self, and you feel it real in the present moment. As you do, the former pattern—fear, doubt, lack— is consumed, and your experience of life becomes an immediate manifestation of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and place your attention on the inner altar; imagine oil as your clear intention and let a fragrant gratitude rise like frankincense. Then watch a memory burn away in a symbolic flame, and rest in the I AM.
