Solomon's Inner Altar Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how the outer ancient rite points to an inner act. The bronze altar is not a pile of wood but the conscious mind lifted in allegiance to the I AM. Solomon’s thousand burnt offerings symbolize the mind’s complete abandonment of lesser selves and habits—an extraordinary act of devotion that clears the field for the divine presence to descend. In Neville’s psychology, places become inner dispositions: the tabernacle of the congregation is the assembled life of awareness, where attention gathers. To 'ascend thither' is to rise in consciousness toward a state of fullness and obedience to the inner truth that you already are the I AM. When the heart stamps 'burnt offerings' upon the mind, you are not paying God; you are declaring the reality of your own inner kingdom. Abundance is not the accumulation of things, but the uninterrupted decision to think from God, to feel the presence, and to allow the divine I AM to saturate every thought. The moment you assume that state, the seeming external offerings shift in meaning and the inner worship becomes the lasting reality.
