Feeding the Fire Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the altar as the field of your own consciousness, and the priest as the I AM within you. The 'food of the offering' is not meat; it is the thoughts, feelings, and desires you place on the altar of attention. When you burn it in the flame of awareness, you are not appeasing a distant God, you are refining your state of being. The fire consumes what no longer serves your real nature and leaves the essence—your true self—nourished by disciplined focus. Obedience and faithfulness arise not from external rules but from a steady inner habit: to return your attention to the present Presence, to imagine the state you desire as already yours, and to feel it as real. This inner act of sacrifice is true worship: you feed the LORD with your unwavering attention, and in return the LORD feeds your life with power and clarity. Your sense of self shifts toward the divine idea you choose, and the world rearranges itself to match that inner food.
