The Inner Ark Revealed

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the ark as the I AM within you, the center of awareness. The cherubim with their two wings are the guardrails of your consciousness—binding, sheltering, and directing your attention toward the holy of holies. When they cover the ark and its staves, you are reminded that your power to know is held within a sacred boundary. The ends of the staves that reach into the holy place, and are visible there, are the outward expressions of your inward state—your thoughts, feelings, and actions that are already framed by the inner presence, yet not exposed to the world until you bring them forth. The visible ends in the inner sanctuary symbolize the moment you acknowledge your inner design and the covenant of loyalty between your sense of self and the I AM. Your true worship is to dwell in this sanctuary of awareness, letting the boundary of the cherubim guide you away from externals toward the living presence within. As you stand in this inner temple, you can revise any belief about separation by affirming: I am that I AM; all ends of my life are seen by God within me.
