Neville's Inner Vision

Within the temples of consciousness, every outer temple-work begins as an inner arrangement. The cunning man endowed with understanding stands as your inner craftsman, a state of mind that can work in gold, silver, brass, iron, stone, timber, color, and cloth—the very materials of sensation and story. He is not a person apart but a function of your I AM, your present awareness that sees through every layer of appearance. When you acknowledge him, you invite your inner David to cooperate with your own disciplined faculties—the cunning men of memory, imagination, and discernment—so that every device proposed by your desire is examined, revised, and engraved into reality. The Huram figure you meet in the text is a symbol: a master builder who can translate inspiration into form by collaborating with your inner craftspeople. By trusting this inner craftsman, you shift from reacting to life to designing it: you choose the materials (color as emotion, texture as habit), you lay the foundation with certainty, and you allow the plan to reveal itself through imagination and revision. The result is not theory but a felt construction in your waking state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and suppose you possess a cunning inner craftsman. Declare, I AM the craftsman who designs my world, and feel the plan already taking form within your awareness.
