Lively Stones, Spiritual Home

Neville's Inner Vision

Your faith is not a creed you repeat, but a state of consciousness you inhabit. In this image you are one of the lively stones, yet also the mason of the temple within. The 'spiritual house' is your interior climate; the 'holy priesthood' is your disciplined attention, offered to the Divine I AM rather than to external rites. Jesus Christ becomes not a distant savior only, but the demonstration of your higher state—the living you that already exists as awareness. When you imagine yourself as the stone set in a luminous wall, you begin to feel the truth that every experience is a reflection of inner order. The sacrifices you offer are the quiet choices of where to place your attention, the forgiveness you grant, the gratitude you cultivate, the fidelity to your new state of consciousness. As you dwell in this inner temple, the outer world rearranges itself to match the harmony you've declared. You do not seek approval; you become the temple and the worship through which life is drawn into alignment with your inner kingdom.
