Inner Fire, True Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this account, the outer death of Nadab and Abihu signals the inner death of a wrong fire kindled in consciousness—an imagination that pretends to worship by novelty, ego, or strange methods rather than by the inner law. The fire they offered is not merely ritual; it is a misalignment of desire with the I AM within. The wilderness of Sinai marks the soul's inner desert where a person must choose whether to trust the genuine flame of awareness or cling to counterfeit heat. The absence of offspring shows that productions of the life-will through misdirected worship bear no true fruit; there is no generative result when the mind is not in alignment with its Father within. Yet Eleazar and Ithamar serving in the sight of Aaron point to a restoration: when you reaffirm the Father as the master-priest in your temple and allow the true fire to be channeled through the rightful line, you continue service from the authentic self. The death is a release—an opportunity to re-center, to let the inner law govern your acts, and to birth a new, fruitful worship.
