Goat of Atonement Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the line 'one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you' as a symbol for a single, deliberate act of inner choosing. In the inner theatre of your mind, the I AM is the sacrificer and the goat is the thought, image, or belief you offer to be reconciled with your true nature. When you imagine offering this 'goat,' you are not seeking approval from outside; you are reassigning energy within your own consciousness. Atonement becomes a shift of state: you forgive a remembered fault, you calm a turbulent feeling, you align a scattered impulse with the I AM that you are. The ritual is not in space but in attention: you place the goad of your attention on the assumption of wholeness, and you persist until the feeling of union with the I AM arises. Then forgiveness dissolves the old separation, and your world rearranges to reflect a reconciled self. The 'goat' thus represents a concrete image by which you revise your inner state back to love, mercy, and oneness. This is the heartbeat of true atonement: a moment of conscious revision that redefines your entire reality.
