Inner Temple Cedar Sanctuary
1 Kings 6:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
1 Kings 6:16 records the inner chamber being walled and floored with cedar for the oracle and the most holy place. The act marks the deliberate separation and preparation of an inner space where divine presence can be felt and accessed.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your mind, the house stands as a state of consciousness; the twenty cubits of cedar are the fixed boundaries you erect in awareness to protect the oracle. The floor and the walls laid with cedar are your decision to align every sense with nobility, purity, and integrity, so that the entire interior becomes a sanctuary rather than a scene of impulse. When you say within, you are affirming that the divine is not distant but resident; the most holy place is the center of your I AM—the moment of conscious awareness where God speaks. The act of building is not construction of bricks but the revision of your inner assumption: you imagine the space, you feel the sacred air, and you adopt the belief that the oracle—your inner wisdom—speaks from a purified chamber. Thus you worship God not by rites outside but by the order you maintain within, the holiness you cultivate, and the integrity of your thoughts and feelings. The presence of God becomes a felt reality as you claim the sanctuary as your current state.
Practice This Now
Assume you have built within your mind an inner cedar sanctuary, a defined space for the oracle. Then feel the presence rise as you step inside and affirm I AM here within.
