Unleavened Inner Feast
Numbers 28:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage describes seven days of unleavened bread with a holy convocation on the first day, during which ordinary servile work is set aside.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, Numbers 28:17-18 becomes not a calendar of rites but a discipline of consciousness. The seven days of unleavened bread are a deliberate removal of yeast from the mind—the ego’s fermentation that fogs pure awareness. A holy convocation on the first day marks a gathering of attention within, where you refuse to perform the old servile labor of repeating worn-out thoughts. What is eaten and kept is not bread but the state of unembellished perception: a rhythm of stillness that allows the inner truth to rise untouched by pride or fear. In this inner festival, you live from the awareness that you are the I AM, not the actor of appearances. By honoring the inner law, you align behavior with a holy substance that cannot be broken or diminished. The outward calendar serves as a reminder to return inward, where true worship occurs as quiet fidelity to divine presence.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of pure awareness for seven days, gathering inside as the I AM and declaring a holy rest from mental toil. Feel it real by closing your eyes, breathing, and affirming, 'I AM consciousness, free from ego's work,' letting this truth preoccupy your inner field.
