Consecrated Days, Inner Renewal
Numbers 6:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A person must consecrate the days of separation to the LORD and offer a year-old lamb for trespass. If prior days were defiled, those days are considered lost.
Neville's Inner Vision
Numbers 6:12 unfolds as a psychological map. The 'days of separation' are a state of awareness you deliberately occupy; when that state is defiled by doubt or guilt, the prior days are treated as lost because your focal center—your I AM—has been dimmed. The 'lamb of the first year' is not a creature but a symbol of fresh perception you offer to the I AM within; the trespass offering becomes an act of self-forgiveness and revision, not punishment. To live this teaching, you must assume the new state as already present, and revise the old story by asserting that the defiled consecration never defines your current moment. In Neville's method, the offering restores the altar of awareness and resets the clock, so the days can be counted anew from this instant, restoring purity and integrity to your consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the state of consecration now; envision placing the 'first-year lamb' on the altar of your awareness and declaring, 'I am consecrated to the LORD this day.' Feel the renewed purity arising in consciousness.
