Inner Holiness of Leviticus 21:6-8
Leviticus 21:6-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 21:6-8 calls those serving at the altar to live in holiness and to protect the sacred name, because their offerings reflect their devotion. The passage teaches that true holiness comes from God, who sanctifies you.
Neville's Inner Vision
They shall be holy unto their God is a statement of your present identity. If you, as consciousness, assume the I AM, you stop playing the role of a separate self and claim the sacred status of your own awareness. And not profane the name of their God becomes a discipline of your self-concept—refuse to entertain thoughts that degrade who you know yourself to be. The lines about offerings and the bread of God point to the daily rituals of attention you feed your mind: what you feed your focus, what you carry in memory, what you offer in gratitude to the feeling of being alive. The declaration, I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy, is the recognition that the sanctifier and the sanctified are one in consciousness. Therefore, cultivate the inner certainty that you are already holy, because the I AM is the truth of you. Your outer life will rise to match this inner consecration as you persist in the felt sense of your assumed sacred nature.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit in quiet, declare 'I am holy unto my God' and feel the I AM as your immediate awareness; revise any thought of deficiency by repeating 'I am holy now' until it lands as felt truth.
