Inner Passover, Inner Feast
Leviticus 23:5-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 23:5-8 marks sacred times: the Passover on the 14th of the first month, followed by seven days of unleavened bread. The people are to hold holy convocations, rest from servile work, and offer fire offerings to the Lord during these days.
Neville's Inner Vision
Seeing these verses through the I AM is to realize that every calendar page is a doorway to a new state of consciousness. The Passover on the fourteenth is the moment you cease feeding on old bread—fear and limitation—and choose the unleavened bread of purity, unmixed with doubt. The seven days become an inner discipline: a consecrated period during which attention returns to the truth of your being, a holy gathering within where no argument distracts you from the covenant already established in you. The 'fire offering' hints at burning away the conditions you have outgrown by the heat of your own conviction. When you claim 'I am' the Lord's, you align with a state that supports transformation without struggle. This is not mere ritual; it is the inward arrangement of the self to observe, release, and renew. The seventh-day emphasis on rest shows the trust and stillness that arise when imagination is trusted to fulfill the covenant within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state, 'I am the Passover of the Lord.' For seven days keep your mind free from old beliefs and feel a purifying fire renewing your sense of covenant-loyalty within.
