Inner Priesthood and Holiness

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are the priest in your own temple—the I AM, the centered consciousness that never leaves the room of awareness. The command that a male priest eat of the offering becomes an act of inner assimilation: you take the sense of guilt or trespass, place it in the holy place of your mind, and allow it to be eaten and transfigured. The meal is holy because what remains is not punishment but alignment with your true nature. As you digest it within this inner sanctuary, the charge dissolves and your life is saturated with purity, integrity, and true worship. This is not a ritual you perform on someone else; it is a revision of your own belief, a conversion of fear into fearless awareness. When the priest in you consumes the offering, you constrain nothing from your sanctum—only cultivate what is sacred and enduring. Practice now: inwardly bring a current guilt into your inner holy place, imagine the priest savoring it, and feel the sense of its charge dissolving as you awaken to your I AM presence.
