Inner Grain Offering Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner scripture, the 'offering' is not to some distant deity, but to the I AM that you are. The grain is the mind’s daily bread—tiny portions of thought stirred with the oil of Spirit, baked by attention until they are fragrant offerings of gratitude. The perpetual aspect teaches you that devotion is not a variable mood but a steady state of consciousness: morning and night, you place a portion of your awareness on the altar, and it becomes a sweet savour in your own heaven. The priest who offers in his stead is you, the watcher inside, the one who consumes nothing but the fire of transformation; it is a statute forever because your inner life is eternal. When you understand that 'not eaten' means the ego-self is burned away, you feel your true self rising as I AM, the consciousness that remains when the old self vanishes. The simple act is faith in action: imagine you have already offered; feel the kitchens of your mind filled with oil and flour, and taste the calm of the Lord's approval.
