Inner Temple Spoils Dedication

Neville's Inner Vision

Out of the spoils won in battles becomes a symbol for the rewards won in the battles of the mind. When you dedicate these spoils to the temple of your awareness, you are not performing an external ritual but affirming the inner economy of consciousness. Samuel, Saul, Abner, and Joab symbolize the faculties of your soul—prophetic discernment, kingly will, disciplined action, and courageous loyalty. Each, when consecrated, contributes to the maintenance of the inner house. The phrase “under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren” points to the stewarding intelligence within you, the quiet order that receives offerings and arranges them for use. Thus every thought, feeling, or resource you dedicate becomes fuel for the temple’s life. The law is simple: decide that your experiences are for the temple, and your awareness grows steadier as the house stands firm. Your I AM is the temple; by assuming you have already dedicated all you possess, you awaken the inner mechanics that sustain it.
