Inner Sin Offering Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Levitical rite you read that a goat stands for a former state of consciousness. The laying of hands is your moment of consent to the old story; the killing before the LORD marks the end of that mistaken identity in your imagination. The blood on the horns and poured at the base of the altar is the flow of attention you direct into the altar of your own mind, anchoring a new sense of I AM. The fat burned on the altar represents releasing the stale emotion and desire that fed the guilt—you surrender them to the flame, not to punishment, but to purification by awareness. The priest who makes atonement is the inner you, the I that reconciles, declaring that the sin is forgiven in this moment because you choose to inhabit a higher state. Thus, the law of forgiveness operates when you accept it as a present reality, not as a future remedy. When you dwell in the awareness of your I AM, the old separation dissolves and you awaken to a reconciled consciousness.
