Inner Atonement Of Numbers 29:7-11

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen inwardly. The day described is not a date on a calendar but a state of consciousness. The command to afflict your souls is a call to withdraw identification from the old self and its restless images, to stop feeding fear and guilt with mental pictures. In Neville's terms, you are the I AM, and the inner temple is being purified so that your consciousness can burn with a sweet savour for God—the aligned will of imagination and awareness. The burnt offering stands for your willingness to let a higher purpose consume the old self, leaving no blemish of limitation in the field of your mind. The meat offering, flour mingled with oil, is the nourishment of thought when your inner state is clear and rich with divine oil—the Spirit animating the form of your thoughts. The seven lambs point to a complete cycle of attention, while the sin offering and atonement symbolize the release of guilt and the reinvestment of consciousness in the present I AM. Through this inner ritual, you shift from separation to unity, and the temple within becomes your gateway to true worship.
