Inner Church Pillar of Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true church is not a place but a state of consciousness. The 'house of God' is the living I AM you are always awareness itself; the 'church of the living God' is the unity of your thoughts and feelings held in the consciousness that never dies. When Paul says 'the pillar and ground of the truth,' he points to the inner support of what you believe and feel about yourself. If I tarry long—that is, if you linger in old assumptions and delayed realizations—the invitation remains: know how you ought to behave by aligning with this inner truth. Behavior follows state; your outer conduct becomes a natural expression of the inner church as you persist in the assumption of wholeness, fidelity, and holiness. The unity of believers is the inner coherence of your own mind, harmonized by the I AM. Your daily acts of obedience and faithfulness are simply the outward echo of an inward conviction that truth is now established in you. To dwell in this truth is to act from it; the building you inhabit is your own consciousness, and the world becomes a visible pillar of that reality.
