Inner Temple Duties Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the temple of the LORD is your awareness. The Levites’ office to wait on the sons of Aaron becomes a discipline of waiting on your higher self—the I AM that simply is. The courts and chambers are the compartments of mind where judgments and stories are kept; purifying all holy things means cleansing beliefs you prize as sacred so they serve you rather than enslave you. The duties of offering and serving—the shewbread, the meals, the morning and evening praise—are the inner nourishment of ideas that sustain your life. Standing daily to thank and praise the LORD becomes a steady, felt posture of gratitude that anchors reality in your favor. To offer burnt sacrifices in sabbaths and set feasts is to deny fear and ego, honoring a divine order within and aligning with your true nature. By keeping the charge of the tabernacle and the holy place, you sustain the sanctuary of your consciousness, with the brethren of your inner life serving in harmony.
