Seven Days Inner Offering

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the law is a parable of inner birth and timing. The animal born is a symbol of a fresh impulse arising in consciousness. The seven days under the dam signify a period of nurturing within the I AM, where fear, impulse, and pride are tempered by loving awareness until the new state is ready to be expressed. To kill mother and offspring on the same day would rush the essential maturation, forcing a premature manifestation and denying true alignment with God. On the eighth day the offering is accepted, not by ritual alone, but when the mind has prepared itself to be the vessel through which God speaks. Thus true worship is inward: align your desires with the higher self, honor inner timing, and let the purified state present itself as a fire offering to the Lord. In this light, every new grade of consciousness is blessed only after it has been cherished and patiently brought to fullness in awareness.
