The Inner Cart of Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this single verse the Ark stands for your awareness—the Presence that you are. The outward cart is not a sacred instrument but a symbol of the mind's method; a new cart suggests you attempt a fresh vehicle for carrying what you already are. Yet the scene warns that the true movement of the Presence requires harmony with the inner Law, not novelty alone. If you drive the Ark with the ego or with ceremony, you misplace the Presence, as if God were distant and carted along. The real movement is a revision in your inner state: imagine that the Presence is already here, covenant with that inner state, and feel the I AM preceding every action. Then the so called new vehicle becomes only the vehicle your imagination uses to express your unity with the divine. The moment you align with the inner covenant and keep faith with your I AM, the Presence travels with you, free from risk, because reality is the consciousness you live in.
