Inner Altar, Outer Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outward altar is but a signpost for an inward altar. The bronze altar before the tabernacle is the mind’s focal point, where your attention gathers and your I AM consciously answers. Solomon and the assembly stepping toward it is the collective turning of consciousness toward the one Presence within. When you 'seek unto it,' you are not chasing a distant God; you are shifting your inner state until you feel the reality of the wish fulfilled. The true worship is not ceremony separated from consciousness but the acknowledgment that God is the I AM that you are. As you hold your attention on that inner altar, imagination becomes the priest; petition becomes invitation; your feelings certify that what you desire is already done in consciousness. The bronze instrument, fashioned by design, becomes the means by which you align with the divine presence within and invite it into your life.
