Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon finished the temple and covered it with cedar beams. He then built cedar chambers along the sides.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the present moment you are building a temple in consciousness. The finishing of the house and its cedar covering is a symbol not of stone, but of your state of awareness made solid by repeated assumption. The beams and boards of cedar signify a steadfast, fragrant pattern of attention—warm, protective, and incorruptible. The chambers against the house, five cubits high, rest upon your awareness as inner dispositions, not external annexes. When you consciously dwell in the I AM, you are placing walls that separate fear and doubt from the holy presence, yet keep the sacred space open to divine action. The holiness of the temple is not a distant ritual but your ongoing alignment—the refusal to suspend the feeling of completion until an object appears. In this inner architecture, God is the I AM behind every sight and sound, always present as the life that you are. The outer completion mirrors your inner state: finish, cover, and place the chambers by consistently inhabiting your true self with love, integrity, and certainty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the temple is finished in consciousness, feel the cedar's warmth, and silently declare the I AM is dwelling now.
