Temple Within: Cedar Beams of I AM
1 Kings 6:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The temple is completed and covered with cedar beams, symbolizing the finished inner sanctuary.
Neville's Inner Vision
View this as more than a building of stone. The house Solomon finished is your inner temple, a dwelling place for the I AM—that awareness you carry as your very self. The cedar beams and boards are not timber; they are disciplined thoughts and steadfast feelings—habits of attention that hold up your sacred space. When you imagine the temple completed, you are not seeking permission from without; you are aligning your inner state with the truth that God’s presence already resides in you. The presence of God is the I AM within, not a distant visitor. Holiness is separation only in your choice of state: you separate from fear by insisting on calm, from doubt by choosing faith, from lack by dwelling in abundance of awareness. Do not chase external proofs; render the temple stable, and allow your world to reflect its interior order. The moment you assume completion, the cedar beams of confidence, gratitude, and unwavering attention are in place, and your life follows that finished interior architecture.
Practice This Now
Assume the temple is finished in your mind and feel it as real now; hold the image with the I AM presence for a few breaths, letting the inner sanctuary guide your day.
