Inner Priest, Sin, and Atonement

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the priest is not a distant ceremonial figure but the inner state through which you confront error. The anointed self represents your higher I AM, the awareness that stands behind every thought and deed. When the inner state sins according to the people's sin—when you identify with lack, fear, or separation—the remedy is not guilt but a deliberate act of correction by consciousness. The offering of a young bull without blemish symbolizes your pure, untainted energy ready for reintegration into divine order. To Neville, such offering is a revision of the self-image: you declare, in imagination and feeling, that you are not defined by the mistake but by your present willingness to align with your true nature. By assuming the state of the pure, you cover the error with the light of awareness, and the entire self responds to that correction. In this way, the external ritual becomes an inner mode of consciousness, a practice that reorients you toward holiness, integrity, and harmony with the whole.
