Neville Goddard on Leviticus 4:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 4 in context

Scripture Focus

11And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

12Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

Leviticus 4:11-12

Biblical Context

The text commands taking the bullock, with all its parts, outside the camp to a clean place and burn it there as a sacrifice for atonement. The act represents a complete removal of impurity from the camp.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the bullock as the crude you—the stubborn self defined by fear, desire, and limitation. The command to carry it outside the camp and burn it at a clean place is a decree for consciousness: remove the old self from the circle of current identity and lay it on the altar of pure awareness. The flesh, the head, the inward parts—all of it goes to be burnt, not as punishment but as the cleaning of a mental atmosphere that has believed itself unworthy. The ashes are poured out—those memories and self-judgments dissolve, leaving a clean ground on which your true I AM can stand. In this light, holiness is not distant ritual but the precise alignment of imagination with the I AM—awaking from the dream that you are separate from the benevolence you seek. When you hold this new posture—consciousness that you are the ruling presence—the old self fades to ashes, and your worship becomes the living experience of awareness, right now.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already the purified I AM. In your imagination, carry the old self outside the inner camp, place it on the altar, and burn it to ashes; then dwell in the steady felt presence of I AM.
