Temple Bases of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

These bases are not mere metal but inner stations of consciousness. The ten bases correspond to ten facets of the I AM where attention belief feeling choice discipline intention gratitude stillness vision and action are held upright. The four by four base with a three cubit height speaks of stable practical awareness that can stand under any circumstance. The borders between ledges are the boundaries you draw in your thoughts; within these borders the mind sorts and assigns meaning. On the borders dwell lions, oxen and cherubim symbols of inner power: the lion of courage, the ox of endurance, the cherubim of divine insight guarding your focus. The base above the ledges represents elevated thought resting on a solid foundation; the wheels indicate the movement of life through thought; the undersetters beneath the laver signify hidden purification the work of mind clearing misperception. Taken together these bases declare holiness: a temple within where presence can dwell when you align every base with the I AM and keep the inner borders clean.
