Biblical Context

Solomon lines the inside of the temple with cedar, finishing the floor, walls, and ceiling, and dedicates a cedar space for the oracle and the most holy place.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville Goddard's framework, the temple walls are not physical borders but the boundaries you consciously set around your own state. The cedar inside speaks of a living, protective perimeter you erect around the sense of self to keep the Presence intact amid fear, doubt, or distraction. The oracle and the most holy place symbolize the quiet center of awareness—your I AM—where all life-abiding truth resides. To line your inner space with cedar is to choose holiness and separation from lack by affirming that you already possess this Presence. The walls, floor, and ceiling are you in action—your thoughts, feelings, and imaginal acts forming a complete interior architecture that supports one reality: God expressing as your life. This interior discipline is not a mere description but a practice: guard the movement of consciousness, honor the Presence, and treat every mental step as if you are entering the Holy of Holies. In doing so, the inner sanctuary becomes dominant, and Presence informs every experience you have.
