Inner Atonement for Ignorance

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Numbers I hear the inner law speaking: ignorance is simply a state of consciousness that has momentarily forgotten its unity with the I AM. The goat is not a thing we owe the past but a symbol offered by the mind—a fresh, first year quality of awareness you put on the altar of attention. The priest is your inner I AM, the mindful governor who declares that the mistaken thought belongs to a single moment and does not define you. When you acknowledge the error as a transient movement of mind and shift your identification back to the truth, forgiveness arises as a natural correction of your state. This is not punishment but a restoration of alignment with life, a return to the reality that you are already loved, forgiven, and free because your awareness is one with the divine law. The text invites you to revise the memory, to hold the new perception in present consciousness, and to feel the acceptance that dissolves the old fear. Practice this and watch how your day begins to reflect the forgiveness you consciously assume.
