5And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

Leviticus 2:4-5

Biblical Context

Leviticus 2:4-5 describes two forms of a meat offering baked in an oven or in a pan, both made of unleavened flour mixed with oil.

Neville's Inner Vision

Two forms of outward ritual reveal one inner habit of mind. In Neville's terms, the oven and the pan are not places you visit; they are states of attention—heat and method your consciousness applies to form the wanted state. The unleavened bread stands for a pure, unadulterated idea, free from the yeast of doubt or ego. The oil mingling with flour is the Spirit infusing form with life, the I AM presence sealing the feeling. When you offer yourself as this bread, you acknowledge that you are the one who bakes reality with imagination. The act of baking in the oven or pan shows there are many ways to fix attention, but both produce a baked result only when the mind assumes the state as already real. The riddle of sacrifice resolves into inner acceptance: you do not please an external god; you align with your own I AM and let the appearance reflect your inner decision. Practice: dwell as the state you wish to inhabit; imagine the oil of Spirit saturating the thought-feeling; hold that assumed state until it feels real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of your wish as already real; picture unleavened bread and oil within, and let the I AM affirm the reality you intend.
