Inner Inheritance And Service
Numbers 18:22-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel is restricted from near the tabernacle to guard against sin; the Levites minister and bear their iniquity, receiving the tithes as their inheritance instead of land.
Neville's Inner Vision
Observe that the surface order is a reflection of your inner order. The tabernacle stands as the sanctuary of consciousness, and those not aligned with the Levite state are kept away lest they stumble into a death of awareness. The Levites, the inner faculty of service, bear their iniquity—accepting responsibility for any misalignment within their state—while being sustained by the tithes, the energy you consecrate for sacred work. In Neville's vantage, inheritance is not soil or rank but the life-flow allotted to the inner temple. When you awaken to the I AM as your own awareness, you discover that true wealth is the capacity to give your attention to the divine function and to live from that center. The decree that the people have no land inheritance marks the boundary between birthright and the birthright of consciousness; you are invited to take stewardship of your inner dispositions, not privileges of birth. Your tithe becomes the discipline of returning a portion of thought to the sanctuary within, ensuring the Levitical state remains the guardian of your inner worship.
Practice This Now
Imagination: Close your eyes and envision you are the Levitical consciousness; set aside a tenth of your mental energy as a tithe to the inner temple and declare I AM. Feel the sanctuary rise within as you revise your sense of inheritance to service, here and now.
