Waiting Under the Dam

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is not a ledger of animal sacrifices, but a theater of consciousness. The 'bullock, sheep, or goat' represents elements within you—desire, intellect, feeling—that must be nurtured for a time before they are offered to God, the I AM within. The seven days under the dam signify a period of incubation where each part learns its place, where impulse learns restraint, and where your identity learns to love the process rather than annihilate it. To kill the cow and her young in one day would be to collapse two harmonized currents of consciousness in one instant, an act that fractures your being. From the eighth day onward, these energies are accepted as offerings, not judged as mere appetites. The altar is your awareness; the fire is the light of your imagination rightly directed. When you, in present tense, align with the I AM and declare that every element of you is sanctified by its proper place and time, you are offering your entire self to true worship.
