Inner Offerings and Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this scene speaks not of distant places, but of the inner temple of your mind. Balak and Balaam symbolize two currents inside you—the longing for power and the urge to predict advantage—standing at many altars. The altar is a disposition of consciousness; the bullock and the ram are images of attachment, fear, and appetite you place upon those altars as if they were gods. When you view it this way, the command to true worship arises: withdraw your worship from idols of circumstance and return to the Presence that you are. The I AM, your core awareness, is the sole altar worthy of offering. Offerings become meaningful only when they are aligned with the inner law of consciousness—imaginal acts, felt assurance, and the conviction that God is present as you. Then the ritual is not a repetition of forms but a rehearsal of your realized state; Balak and Balaam fade, and you stand in the Presence of the All within. In this light, worship becomes the ongoing act of living from consciousness rather than performing for it.
