Inner Offerings of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

I read Nahshon’s procession of offerings as the inner order of my own consciousness. Each element is a movement of awareness: the silver charger and bowls are the sturdy vessels of attention; the fine flour mingled with oil is thought space enriched by inspired energy; the spoon of gold containing incense is the prayers and desires rising from that living attention. The burnt offering signals the surrendered I AM, the part of me willing to release even cherished identifications in service of the state I affirm. The sin offering invites honest release of guilt or limitation that would obstruct the divine pattern. The peace offerings, multiplied in oxen and sheep, portray harmony among conflicting impulses as I bring these impulses into alignment with my desired state. Nahshon, son of Amminadab, becomes my inner leader—my higher self guiding these movements into covenant loyalty with the outcome I seek. When I acknowledge these inner sacrifices as a living cadence of consciousness, I see that outer conditions reflect this inner order. Imagination creates reality, so this liturgy is the actual altar of my life.
