Inner Temple Of Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the king is awake—the I AM that commands your life. The cedar from Lebanon is a noble idea you intend to anchor in form; the workshop of thy servants represents the inner faculties that labor under your direction. The Sidonians, in Neville's sense, are the specialized energies of perception and craft—the discernment, patience, and skill that can shape a thought into a living circumstance. When you command them to work with your ordinary thoughts, you invite a cooperative energy that gives substance to your vision. The hire you offer is the energy, attention, and feeling you invest; it is the return you allow for their labor in your life. The line about there being no one among us who can match their timber work is not a limitation but a reminder that there exists within you a higher craftsmanship which, once invoked, can surpass mere wish. Your temple is built not by outside aid, but by your steady assumption of the state of the inner Sidonians, aligning all parts of your being into a single, functioning kingdom.
