Cedar Chambers of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

I, the I AM, understand that the house stands within me, and the cedar chambers I build are the surrounding attitudes of mind I accept or revise. The five cubits tall measure is not wood but a scale of increase in consciousness. Each chamber is a mental state I erect around the central temple of awareness, a protective perimeter that clarifies what I affirm as true. By choosing to rest these chambers on the house with cedar timber, I declare that my outer conditions owe their beauty to inner wealth, wisdom, and worship. The presence of God is not distant but the life of my awareness, and true worship is the consistent alignment I keep with that life. Stewardship and creation care are practiced as care for the feelings, thoughts, and permissions I grant to my mind. Wealth and provision become natural extensions of a mind that has built the cedar around its sanctuary rather than patching the roof with worry. In this vision, the chambers are not separate rooms from life but states of consciousness that the I AM calls into being by imagination and belief.
