Inner Wealth for Sacred Space

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the inventory he names is a map of your own inner treasury. The house of God is the sanctuary you carry within—the manifest self you awaken by conscious choice. When David says he prepared with all his might, the meaning is that you must marshal your inner energy with resolve, not with external wealth alone. The gold, silver, brass, iron, and wood symbolize aspects of your consciousness you are invited to furnish: radiant thoughts, lucid perception, sturdy will, faithful discipline, and the pliable, obedient body of experience. The onyx and glistering stones and the varied colors signify the diverse, shining forms of awareness available to you when attention is concentrated and imagination is allowed to lead. Marble stones in abundance reflect an abundance of refined inner states that can be arranged by your feeling, by your mood, by the assumptions you entertain. The act of provisioning shows true worship: you place your mental energies into the sanctuary you are building, thereby proving that God dwells within and that your imagination is the architect of your reality.
