Inner Offerings of Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

The outer act of bringing beasts and grain is a symbol for a deeper inner act: you present your life to the I AM, offering it as a flame of awareness. The burnt offering, a sweet savour unto the LORD, is the state of consciousness you cultivate when you align attention with God within. The thirteen bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs are not numbers to tally, but facets of your life you invite into the altar of your mind—energy, thought, feeling, and daily experience—offered without blemish as the sign of your willingness to be governed by divine law. The meat offering and drink offering symbolize ongoing disciplines of attention and gratitude that accompany your prayer. The one kid of the goat for a sin offering points to the inner release of guilt, self-judgment, and mistaken identity. Together with the continual offerings, these inner acts declare that God’s presence is your present reality. When you imagine yourself as the one performing this sacrifice, you awaken the truth: you are the I AM, and abundance flows as your natural state.
