Atonement by Inner Oblation

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene, your own consciousness finds the same posture. The officers are the orderly states of awareness that govern your inner armies. When they say none is lacking, they declare a complete alignment of your inner forces. The jewels they offer: gold, chains, rings, tablets, are symbols of precious thoughts and qualities you have gathered, now given to the LORD of your awareness. The act is inner atonement: not appeasing a distant deity, but renewing your sense of wholeness in God-consciousness. True worship, in this light, is voluntary return, a turning from scarcity, fear, and separation toward generosity toward self and others. Your consciousness makes an oblation of its gains as a sign that you accept the soul's fullness. When you feel your life as the LORD's possession, your sense of lack dissolves and the soul is renewed. This is repentance as turning toward your true self, a sanctifying gift you offer to the I AM within.
