Foundations Of The Inner Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the house of the LORD as the temple within your own mind. The fourth year marks a turning point—the foundation is laid in a decisive moment when you declare I AM. From that instant, your life adjusts to fit a higher image; you cease building from the old structure and begin constructing from an unchanging awareness. The eleventh year signifies completion not of stone, but of habit and order—the parts of you aligned to the temple's fashion, a holiness that requires separation from lower states. The eighth month indicates a mature season in which this state of consciousness is fully realized and visible as form. The seven years of building symbolize disciplined daily realization: you persist in repeated assumption until the inner walls are finished and the room where God dwells is unshakeable. The Presence of God is your I AM, ever-present when you choose to inhabit the finished temple by faith, not argument. Practice is remembrance: return to the image of the completed temple and let your life rise to meet it.
