Dwelling in the Inner Tabernacle

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the narrative is not about distant geography but the movement of consciousness. The high place at Gibeon is the elevated state of awareness the soul reaches when it desires true worship. The tabernacle of the congregation is your inner sanctuary, fashioned by Moses in the wilderness—a memory of law turned into longing. The ark, brought from Kirjathjearim to the tent Solomon prepares, signifies your inner truth settled in a chosen space within you. The brass altar set before the tabernacle is the flame of imaginative prayer, the willingness to sacrifice doubt before the truth it seeks. When Solomon and the congregation ‘seek unto it,’ they embody the act of turning attention toward that inner God-state. The movement is toward Holiness, Covenant Loyalty, and the Presence of God within. Your task today is to meet that Presence in imagination as if it were already real, to acknowledge that the I AM is your true self. The outward acts point to an inward awakening: you are the sanctuary; you are the ark; you are the flame that makes the temple possible.
