Sin Through Ignorance, Inner Alignment
Leviticus 4:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 4:27 speaks of the common person who sins through ignorance, violating a commandment and becoming guilty. It signals the lingering sense of guilt that follows unawareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the 'common people' are not a class but a state of ordinary, distracted consciousness. 'Ignorance' is not knowledge of facts but the failure to know the I AM within, the inner law that governs every being. When one acts against a 'commandment' in this inner language, it is not a deed nailed to a distant God but a misalignment with the divine principle resident in awareness. The guilt that follows is the feeling of separation, a memory of a life not yet re-membered to unity. Yet the law remains intact; the 'commandments' are inner harmonies, and a moment of realization can restore them. By turning your attention from the sensed separate self to the indwelling I AM, you reinterpret the act as a moment of forgotten identity. Forgiveness is not pleading with a judge outside; it is the re-affirmation that you are the I AM, the living law. The penance is a revision of belief, a moment of inner conviction that you are already right with God, and therefore the 'sin' dissolves as consciousness shifts.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM is the reality of your being. Feel guilt dissolve as you revise your sense of self to the I AM within.
