Scripture Focus

4And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

5And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

6And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.

7And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Leviticus 4:4-7

Biblical Context

The passage describes bringing a bullock to the door of the tabernacle, laying hands on its head, and killing it; the priest then collects and sprinkles its blood before the LORD, with portions placed on the altar.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's psychology, the bullock represents a false self-image or belief. Laying hands identifies that self with your I AM and marks a decision to release it. The killing is the inner choice to end the old story. The priest stands for your higher self organizing the inner temple; the blood is the life-force you draw into consciousness, and sprinkling seven times signals a complete cleansing of the inner sanctuary before the divine awareness. Placing blood on the horns of the incense altar symbolizes directing vitality into your worship, aligning thoughts, feelings, and actions with the presence of God within. The ritual becomes a method for changing your state of consciousness: identify, release, and redirect life’s energy until your new state is established in present experience.

Practice This Now

Place your hand on your chest, close your eyes, and imagine laying the old self-aspect on the bullock; then visualize life-blood as radiant energy cleansing your inner sanctuary, while affirming I AM present here and now.
