Inner Fire Of The Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the fire in Leviticus be read as the I AM within you—the eternal awareness that never sleeps. When the text says the fire shall burn all night, hear it as your imagination kept bright, a state you refuse to let dim by doubt. The ashes gathered beside the altar are the discarded thoughts, the old scripts you leave behind as you step into a renewed breathing of life. The priest's changing garments symbolize a shift of state: you are asked to wash away old self-images and clothe yourself in a new quality of attention. Every morning you lay fresh wood on the altar—the renewed attention you give to your desired end. The reminder that the fire must not go out becomes a personal covenant: your inner life endures by steady assumption and feeling it real. In this light, the law is not external rule but a practice of consciousness—tend the flame, clear the ash, and dwell in the holy presence you are.
