Ignorance Cleared by Imagination
Numbers 15:22-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, when the community errs by ignorance and fails to observe all the commandments, a prescribed offering is made to restore harmony with the divine law. The passage highlights mercy and collective atonement as a path back to right relationship.
Neville's Inner Vision
I speak to you as the I AM behind all voices: when you misstep in consciousness—when you forget the commanded state—the inner law calls for a return to wholeness through image and feeling. The congregation in the verse is the chorus of your own beliefs, the collective habit of mind that tallies your past error. The bullock for a burnt offering and the kid of the goats for sin are symbolic forms by which your imagination re-scripts error into devotion. Not punishment, but alignment: the law says that through a deliberate act of revision, your inner economy must sacrifice the old self who believes separation and re-birth the new self who knows unity. The day the command is given marks the moment you reset; henceforward among your generations means this is a perpetually available rhythm within you. When ignorance arises, imagine the offering already complete in your I AM, feel the sweet savour—peace, right relation, right action—as though it were fulfilled now. The outer ritual fades; the inner conviction remains.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume you are already fully observing the commandment; revise the sense of ignorance by stating, 'I AM aware and complete,' and feel the harmony as real in your present.
