Ignorance to Inner Obedience
Leviticus 4:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The LORD speaks about sins done through ignorance against His commandments and instructs how to address them. This points to the need for awareness and instruction in living faithfully.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard’s view, Leviticus reveals the inner drama of consciousness. When a soul sins through ignorance, it signals a lapse in awareness of the inner law—the commandments are inner standards that govern your being, not distant rules to punish you. Your mind’s faculties—like the children of Israel—mirror the aspects of awareness, memory, and imagination. God’s voice within invites your attention, reminding you that you are the I AM, the living awareness that creates. Ignorance here is not moral wickedness but a blindness of belief; outer misdeeds reflect a sense that you are separate from the inner standard. To repent, in this sense, is to turn inward and revise the self-image until obedience becomes natural, inevitable, and felt as real. By reclaiming the inner law, you reconstitute your state of consciousness and rewrite your experience. The practice is inward: listen for the commandment and assent to its truth, trusting that your awareness can guide every choice.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you are already living in alignment with the inner law. When you sense a lapse, revise your belief and feel-it-real that you have always obeyed the inner commandment.
