Inner Firstfruits Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse invites you to awaken a new state of consciousness and present it to the I AM as a sweet savour. In Neville fashion, the firstfruits are not a distant ritual but the moment your inner weeks culminate in a fresh expression of self. Burnt offerings symbolize the burning away of limited thoughts, while the meat offerings and flour mingled with oil mark the steady, fragrant thoughts and feelings you nurture daily to sustain the new state. The two bulls, one ram, seven lambs signify levels of commitment and purification of your inner atmosphere; the goat for atonement is the forgiveness of old self-frames that no longer serve your ideal. The instruction to bring these offerings beside the continual burnt offering reminds you that your new state must be kept intact, daily nourished, without blemish. This is not external ritual; it is the inner rite of aligning your imagination, emotion, and choice to the reality you desire, confident that the I AM approves and works through your faith and consistency.
