Temple Choir of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outward order of song and service becomes a map of your inner state. The father who directs the singers is not a man in a temple, but your higher self—your I AM—standing behind every mood and thought. The cymbals, psalteries, and harps symbolize distinct faculties—recognition, imagination, and feeling—that must harmonize to sustain a sacred atmosphere within. The house of God is your inner sanctuary, the place of constant awareness where attention is offered and held. The king's order corresponds to a deliberate assumption, a decision you make in the now that calls forth the presence you seek. To read this passage as a history is to miss the living principle: you draft reality by the quality of your inner worship. When you imagine the service as already complete and pleasing to the I AM, you align your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with a reality that seeks only to express itself through you. Obedience and faithfulness are not outward duties but steady, conscious alignment with your true state.
