Solomon's Inner Altar of Gibeon

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's journey to the great high place is a depiction of a state of consciousness, not a mere location. The king embodies the awakened I AM, stirred to consecrate thought and imagination until an inner altar is formed. The thousand burnt offerings symbolize disciplined thoughts and persistent imaginations poured into the one altar of inner awareness. When I align my attention with this inner temple, presence emerges as the covenant of life within, dissolving the sense of separation. The high place represents the mind elevated to unwavering faith that God is near, that I am beloved, and that every choice is a brick in the sanctuary of consciousness. The outward ritual mirrors an inward discipline: burn away limitation in the furnace of imagination, and the world reflects the inner covenant. This tale invites you to habituate a scene of sacred focus; by declaring and feeling the I AM, the inner city of God becomes your outward reality.
