Inner Sanctity Realized Now

Leviticus 21:17-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 21 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
18For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Leviticus 21:17-23

Biblical Context

Leviticus 21:17-23 preserves a sacred boundary around offerings, restricting those with blemishes. Neville would interpret this as a picture of inner states shaping sacred space.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the altar’s ban upon the blemished is not a judgment on the body but a parable of consciousness. The law speaks of a 'blemish' in the eye, in the feet, in the hand—symbols of what you believe about yourself when you forget who you are. The bread of God, the daily sustenance offered in faith, is always yours when you refuse to define yourself by limitation. The priestly seed represents your inner I AM, your awareness that stands apart from lack. When you call yourself insufficient, you step back from the altar; when you return to the truth that you are the temple of God, you may draw near and feast in sign and reality. The prohibition against entering the veil and the altar is a reminder that separation begins with thought. God sanctifies all—the mind that imagines, the heart that seeks truth. Thus, the 'blemish' dissolves the moment you claim the I AM as your own. You are not judged by condition but welcomed by consciousness. Enter with assurance, not fear; the sanctified space awaits your presence whenever you claim your divine identity.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the inner temple cleared of limitation. Rest in the I AM, revise the belief 'I am blemished' into 'I am the holiness of God in manifestation,' and feel yourself approaching the bread of God in your own consciousness.
