Ark Within the Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the ark as your I AM, the living awareness that never leaves. When the world 'takes' it and sets it beside a Dagon—an imagined idol of power, status, or form—the mind misreads: the divine cannot be housed by externals. The ark’s true home is within you, in the screen of consciousness that witnesses every thought and feeling. The act of placing the ark in Dagon’s temple is a moment of misidentification: you are worshiping the symbol while denying the living light that animates it. When you become aware that you are the I AM looking through the eye, the idol loses its grip. The inner movement becomes clear: you can revise any belief that God must come from outside, and you can feel the reality of presence as now. The ark remains unthreatened by the idol, and your inner kingdom asserts itself—not by smashing outward symbols, but by recognizing that true power is your awareness that never bows to fear or form. In such recognition, the outer shrine collapses into quiet, and you awaken to the truth that the Presence was always within, was never displaced by Dagon, and is now fully acknowledged.
