Olive Wood Doors of Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the doors are not mere wood and metal but the threshold of your consciousness. Olive wood speaks of humility and the natural, living self; the cherubim, palm trees, and flowers within the carvings depict inner movements—guardians, triumphs, and awakenings that attend your imagination. The gold overlay is the radiance of God-consciousness shining through the ordinary. This doorway marks the boundary between your personality and the holy Self you are always within. When you imagine the door gilded and opening, you revise your sense of self from lack to fullness, from separation to intimate union with God. True worship becomes acknowledging that the sacred is not distant but present as your I AM awareness, a gate you inhabit by your very attention. The outer ornamentation mirrors an inner discipline: the more you dwell in consciousness, the more the world reflects that inner temple as beauty and presence.
