Inner Priesthood of Leviticus
Leviticus 21:18-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 21:18–21 forbids anyone with a physical blemish from approaching the offerings, signaling that holiness requires inner purity. The text uses bodily defects as symbols for inner disqualifications from true worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read through Neville's transformation lens, the law speaks not of physical flaw but of inner states. A blemish is a belief, habit, or fear that clouds the I AM presence within you. The 'priest' who cannot come near is your present sense of self pressed by limitation, separation, or doubt. The imagery—blindness, lameness, crooked sight—are pictures your imagination uses to reveal where inner alignment lacks clarity. The seed of Aaron stands for your higher self, the sacred aspect that can offer the bread of God only when the mind is free of reaction and self-doubt. The ritual becomes your practice of consciousness: identify the block, revise the story about yourself, and feel the fire in you as proof that you are already present as the unblemished I AM. When you assume the state of that inner priest, the offering is not something you do but something you radiate. Thus the Levitical law points to an inward discipline: through disciplined imagination you cleanse the inner temple and return to worship as a whole, assured being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, declare that you are the unblemished priest inside. Revise the belief of limitation until it feels true, then imagine offering the bread of God on the altar of your own heart.
