Inner Sanctity Of Sacred Thought
Leviticus 22:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage says that if someone eats a holy thing by mistake, they must add a fifth part and give it to the priest, so as not to profane what is holy. It also says the holy things are to be kept pure because the Lord sanctifies them.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the abundant vantage of I AM, the letter becomes a living symbol. When you 'eat' the holy thing unwittingly, you are not condemned by an external judge; you witness a moment where a sacred thought or image slipped into profane air. The remedy in the text—adding a fifth and presenting it to the priest—is a metaphor for returning a portion of your attention to the sacred; it is the inner act of revised consciousness. The 'they shall not profane' line declares the inner requirement to guard your offerings; the 'I the LORD do sanctify them' is your own awareness affirming what is real. So, assume that every thought you entertain is holy until your inner nature aligns it with your true being. If you catch yourself wandering, shift, forgive, and re-create the scene in imagination as though the holy thing is already sanctified by your inner priest.
Practice This Now
Practice now: sit quietly, and in your I AM, offer a fifth part of a recent wandering thought back to your inner priest, then feel the whole scene sanctified as if it were present.
