Inner Standards of Worthiness
Leviticus 21:16-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage notes that those with a blemish may not approach to offer the bread of the LORD, signaling a boundary of holiness and service. It grounds purity and separation as conditions for sacred worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Whom the text calls 'blemished' is not a defect of flesh, but a belief about yourself that you are unworthy, incomplete, or unfit to give God what you truly are. The bread of God is your daily supply, your true worship—access through the I AM that you are. When you cling to the sensation of flaw, you keep the offering at a distance from your own consciousness. The law thus invites you to revise the inner condition, not to change physical bodies. Assume a state of wholeness now: I AM presence, the unblemished you, the priest within who may approach the bread with clean hands. Feel that you stand in the presence of divine offerings, already eligible, already complete. Let emotions that deny your worth melt in the fire of awareness; let fear, doubt, or self-criticism burn away as you repeat the assumption. Practice persists until the inner sense aligns with the external result. The verse becomes a map of inner worship: purity and integrity of consciousness precede any outward act, and true worship is simply living as the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare 'I AM unblemished,' revise your self-image to wholeness, and feel yourself approaching the altar with clean hands, tasting the bread of God within.
