Beaten Oil for the Light

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner plane, the 'Israel' of scripture is your current state of consciousness. The command to bring pure olive oil beaten for the light is an invitation to refine your mental atmosphere until it can sustain illumination. Pure oil represents the quality of your awareness—unadulterated by fear, doubt, or resentment—so that the light of your I AM presence can burn without interruption. The beating of the oil signals a deliberate refinement: through repeated acts of imagining and feeling from the end, you press away every belief that lowers vibration and you yield a state that is resilient under all moods. The lamp, kept continually burning, is the steady awareness that God dwells within; when your consciousness is kept pure, the external world mirrors that light with harmony, clarity, and purpose. True worship here is not ritual apart from you but the alignment of your imagination with the truth that you are the I AM. This is the natural function of consciousness: to shine forth as living presence by choosing purity, consistency, and unwavering faith in your inner light.
