Biblical Context
Leviticus 9:15-16 describes the priest offering the people's sin offering goat for atonement, followed by the burnt offering in the prescribed manner.
Neville's Inner Vision
The goat of the people’s sin is the image of a mistaken self you have entertained about yourself. The priest within—your I AM—slays that image in your imagination and offers it for sin, not to punish you, but to release the belief that you are separate from God. By offering the old state, you acknowledge that guilt has no real substance; forgiveness arises as you realign with the I AM, the only real presence. Then the burnt offering, offered according to the manner, represents total consecration of your consciousness to the divine life. The manner is the present feeling, the disciplined assumption that you are already holy, whole, and forgiven. The ritual in the outer text mirrors your inner journey: the social sin is dissolved by inner acknowledgment, and your worship is true when it proceeds from awareness rather than fear. See the people’s offering as the shared dream of humanity dissolving in your self‑recognition. You act once, in imagination; the world shifts to reflect that inner change.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of forgiveness now; revise the sense of guilt by whispering 'I AM forgiven' and feeling it real. Picture your inner priest presenting the old self as a slain goat, then rest in the assurance that you are wholly dedicated to the I AM.
