Inner Offerings, Outer Illumination

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the law names no blemish as the criterion of acceptability. This is not about animal worship but about your state of consciousness. When you read offer at your own will, you are invited to assume a singular, integrated awareness—a state in which no part of you is lacking or separated from the Whole. A mind that feels itself maimed or defective stands in opposition to the perfect form of God within; the moment you identify with lack, you disqualify your offering. But when you behold yourself as the I AM, the one perfect image, your entire being becomes a living sacrifice of unity. The vow and the freewill offering point to different degrees of inner commitment, yet both demand wholeness: there must be no excess or deficiency in your inner sense. The act of choosing this wholeness is the ceremony; the altar is your awareness, and the acceptance lies in the conviction that you are already complete. In practice, you revise every thought of limitation by returning to the awareness of perfect form, and you persist in that feeling until it becomes your experienced reality.
