Inner Priesthood Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Numbers 16:8-11, Korah's rebellion reveals a universal human habit: we mistake privilege for power and forget that true service is a consecrated state of consciousness. The Levites are already drawn near to the God of Israel to do His work, not to boast of a position; in Neville's terms, God is the I AM in you, and the 'separation' is simply a shift of awareness. You do not earn priesthood by argument; you awaken to it by assuming the state of nearness, by dwelling in the tabernacle of your own mind and ministering to the people of thoughts that arise within. When you murmur against another's place, you reveal a lack within your own consciousness—an unhealed impulse to control rather than serve. The true worship is not outward ritual but the steady discipline of imagination until you feel yourself already standing before the congregation as the minister of your inner life. The moment you accept that you are the one who brings God near to you, your inner landscape reorganizes around that truth; the external roles fade as you embody the inner priesthood.
