Inner Altar of Israel

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville lens, the twelve stones are the twelve states of your consciousness—the fixed points by which you name who you are. Israel shall be thy name, a reminder that your true identity is the I AM of God expressed as you. The altar you build in the mind is the harmonizing of intention and feeling; the trench around it is your arena of receptivity, a container large enough to hold the seed of your desire until it sprouts into experience. True worship is not outward ritual but the ongoing alignment of imagination with the truth of being. Covenant loyalty and obedience show up as faithfulness to the assumption that what you desire is already present, and the quiet discipline of returning there again and again. Presence of God is the sense of awareness that remains when you stop bargaining with lack and stay with the inner altar. You are Israel when you refuse to be defined by circumstance and choose to be defined by your I AM.
