Inner Temple: Golden Cherubs

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every temple of consciousness, the inner sanctuary holds images that the mind fashions as guardians of sacred space. The two cherubim are not separate beings to worship, but internal states or habits of attention that have been gilded by desire. Their gold overlay shows how we adorn our beliefs with ornament and wonder, yet still mistake form for reality. Neville would say: the real house is the I AM, the living awareness that witnesses even idol-forms. The danger of idolatry is taking the image-work as ultimate; true worship is not in the image but in the awareness that perceives. If you feel drawn to the gilded statues, revise the premise: I am the one who imagines; these images are mere symbols in my mind. Let your attention turn from the idol to the living I AM, dissolving the separation between form and truth. When you align with consciousness as the sole reality, the temple ceases to beg for outer adornment and becomes a radiant, seamless heart-space.
