Inner Vessel of Sacred Purity

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed inwardly, the earthen vessel is your present sense of self, the state of consciousness through which you live your daily world. When the sodden condition of that vessel—attachment, fear, habit—binds your imaginative power, the scripture tells you to break it open. If your mind clings to a rigid brass certainty, it must be scourged clean by mind's water—awareness washed by imagination until no residue remains. In this sacred purification, the meat consumed is the energy reclaimed by your higher faculties; the male priests denote the disciplined thoughts and feelings that can digest and assimilate the holy quality you desire. By performing this, you align your inner priesthood with the One Life, making the state it represents most holy—not as external ritual, but as your inner condition. The result is a sanctified pattern of being that feeds your life with clarity, power, and harmony, as if the offering becomes your own consciousness eating and becoming the transformed you.
