The Monthly Inner Offering

Neville's Inner Vision

In this account the beginnings of your months are the inward openings of a fresh state of consciousness. The commanded offerings are not external rites but symbolic movements of your I AM—your steady awareness. The two young bullocks and the ram, with seven lambs, signify concentrated, clear intents and innocent perceptions you present to the inner presence. The three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering for one bullock, the two tenth deals for one ram, and the one tenth deal for one lamb, mingled with oil, symbolize thoughts energized by feeling and prepared for the altar of awareness. The burnt offering of a sweet savour—an inner appetite for purification—attests to a personal decision to release what hinders you. The drink offerings—the half hin of wine for a bullock, a third part for a ram, and a fourth part for a lamb—are the emotional currents you pour into this new state. The goat for sin offering beside the continual burnt offering marks your willingness to acknowledge and release habitual thoughts opposing oneness with I AM. As you imagine this ritual, you are aligning your inner presence with the I AM that never changes. The sacrifice is your revision of mood into gratitude and unity.
