Fat, Fire, and Inner Ownership

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine, as the priest of your own being, that the fat is the stubborn energy you still devote to the outer story of lack and appetite. The altar is your awareness, and when you 'burn' these tendencies, you convert them into the sweet savor of God-in-me. The phrase 'the LORD's' fat is the reminder that all energy that desires to own its own identity must be surrendered to the I AM within. The law that it should be a perpetual statute means this is not a ritual of the old worship but a continuous living conviction: in every moment you may choose not to feed the old appetite, to deny the belief in separation, and to eat nothing that is tainted by fear or blood—i.e., by violence against your true state. Your inner priest, acting in imagination, practices the transformation until your awareness itself is the offering, and the offering is accepted as a sign that you are in harmony with the divine I AM. The more you dwell in that sense, the more your outer experience shifts to reflect it.
