Inner Priesthood Illumination
Leviticus 21:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse commands the high priest to guard sanctity, refrain from ritual defilement, and keep the sanctuary holy. It speaks of inner discipline and separation as the path to divine presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your consciousness, you are the high priest; the crown of the anointing oil rests on your head as the symbol of I AM awareness poured to consecrate your being. The prohibitions against uncovering the head, tearing garments, or approaching the dead become inner refusals—movements by which you resist thought forms that dull perception. The dead are memories, fears, and habits that would profane the sanctuary of God within; you do not abandon the temple, you guard it with unwavering attention to your present awareness. The sanctuary itself—your interior state of being—must remain undefiled; the oil upon you is not external ceremony but the vivid recognition that you are the living temple. When you assume this, every action you take is performed with sanctity, every feeling is examined and consecrated, and your presence becomes your offering to God. The I AM LORD within is the constant assurance that your inner authority sustains you, not external rites. Practice maintaining this posture long enough for the feeling of being sanctified to permeate your day.
Practice This Now
Act: Sit in quiet, imagine the crown oil anointing your head, and feel it sealing you in holy awareness; then revise any distracting thought by quietly affirming, I am the LORD within, and return to the sanctuary of my consciousness.
