Inner Sin Offering

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse not as a distant rite but as a description of your inner state. The 'sin offering' is the moment you cease identifying with a mistaken thought or condemned part of yourself. The goat stands for a belief you are releasing, not a creature to sacrifice but a pattern you surrender to your higher awareness. When you say 'to make an atonement for you,' you are naming the correction your consciousness makes: by turning attention away from guilt and back to the I AM, you restore harmony within. The I AM is not external approval but your own pure awareness; in that awareness, forgiveness becomes a present, felt reality. The ritual wordless movement is the act of choosing a new state of consciousness and letting the old, guilty image fade into the light of your true self. You are not changing the outside world; you are returning to your inner state where atonement already resides as your natural alignment with God.
