Inner Porters, Inner Order

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through the I AM, this line is not about historical families but about the inward arrangement of the self. The 'porters' are your gates of attention, the guardians who permit or deny passage into the sacred chamber of consciousness where God dwells. Kore and Merari represent two streams of feeling—two inherited moods or states—yet the verse places their divisions under a single order. When you imagine these divisions, you are not tallying ancient names; you are naming the internal habits of guarding your heart. The presence of God comes not by conquest of outer events but by the obedient alignment of your inner wards. To practice, treat each division as a facet of your awareness that you must keep holy and distinct from profane thought. By acknowledging them and choosing how you will let influence pass, you enact true worship: attention tuned to the I AM, not scattered by fear or desire. The act of naming and aligning is a revision of consciousness; it is you telling yourself, 'You belong to Me; I am guarding you; we are one.'
