Restoring the Inner Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, this story is not merely about a king named Ahaz, but about a state of consciousness that has turned away from the true temple. The vessels of the house of God and the doors are your inner capacities—faith, perception, gratitude, and will. When you piece these vessels and shut the doors, you authorize fear and worry to colonize your Jerusalem; you set up high places to incense other desires and you provoke the anger of your LORD, the I AM that you are. The outward desecration mirrors an inner belief: you imagine you are cut off from the divine, you imagine rival powers governing your life. Yet the power to reverse this lies in revision and acceptance: you can reassemble the inner vessels, open the doors of awareness, and declare that the temple is intact, that the I AM remains the ruler in every corner of your consciousness. By feeling for that unity, you withdraw your worship from imagined gods and re-enter true worship, which is simply the conscious recognition that you are God in expression.
