Awakening the Inner Priest

Leviticus 21:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 21 in context

Scripture Focus

16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus 21:16-17

Biblical Context

The passage states that any priest in Aaron's line who has a blemish must not come to offer the bread of God. Its deeper meaning points to holiness as an inner alignment of consciousness, not merely outward ritual.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the blemish as a rival picture your mind has accepted about itself—doubt, fear, or guilt—believing you cannot draw near to the Bread of God. The Law here is not a prohibition on something external but a revelation of your inner state: when you feel unworthy, you are stepping away from the temple within; when you hold a vision of yourself as the I AM, you are already clean and in line with what you call divine nourishment. The bread of God is life itself, the continuous supply and presence that feeds your imagination into reality. To offer it, your consciousness must align with holiness in feeling, not merely in form; you do this by assuming a state of worthiness, by speaking softly within, I am my Father's ideal; I am capable of partaking of divine truth. In practice, the boundary described exists to remind you that the gate is your inner posture. Raise the standard of awareness until your every moment is a holy act of attention, and you will naturally approach the bread as the self that you are.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place your hand over your heart, and revise any belief of blemish by stating, I am the seed of God; I am pure and worthy to partake of the bread of life. Then feel this truth as a warm current filling your chest.
