Neville's Inner Vision

Reading Leviticus 22:17–18 through the Neville Goddard lens, the scene dissolves from ritual to inner apprenticeship. The LORD speaks to you—not to priests alone—and says that whatever you name as a vow or a freewill offering belongs to the I AM within. The burnt offering is not a distant rite but a total surrender of your current state to the divine order of consciousness. The 'house of Israel' and the 'strangers' are the whole you—your familiar self and the parts you have yet to claim—invited to offer themselves into harmony with your true nature. When you decide inwardly to offer a desire, a fear, or a habit, you enact a spiritual rite that reorders your inner atmosphere. This is not manipulation but faithful alignment: the act of offering convinces your imagination to accept its own reality by the mind’s consent that you already are the I AM within. The command calls for loyalty, purity, and integrity—distinguishing the ego's impulse from the altar where God dwells within.

Practice This Now

Choose a desire or habit you want to align. Close your eyes and imagine presenting it as an offering to the I AM within; silently declare, 'I OFFER this to the I AM and accept the harmony that follows,' then feel the state as real and permanent.
