The Inner Pillars of Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine, then, that the house before you is the living temple of your own consciousness. The two pillars are your fixed states of awareness, set at the threshold where worship begins. They rise to thirty-five cubits in the mind's measure, a symbol of steady attention and unwavering faith, while the chapiters at the top—five cubits—are crowns of elevated thought you place upon the daily mind. These markers are not mere stones; they are the inner supports that uphold the sense of Presence. When you dwell in this image, you are choosing to segment the ordinary from the sacred, to honor what is holy by separating attention from distractions. The Presence of God is not a distant locale; it is the I AM that stands at the apex of your awareness, available at this moment to inform every perception. By keeping these pillars before your mental eye, you invite a felt shift: the world remains, yet your listening is wholly turned inward, and worship becomes a living adjustment of consciousness rather than an outward ritual.
