Temple Pillars of Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

In the temple of my mind, two pillars rise at the door, named Jachin and Boaz by my inner speech. The chains and the hundred pomegranates are not ironwork; they are the arranged thoughts of loyalty I hang upon my attention. Jachin—he will establish—becomes the steady habit of assurance: I affirm that the I AM is the one placing order in my life, and that what I now desire is becoming real because I stand in the light of that promise. Boaz—in him is strength—is the inner power that sustains endurance, the feel of divine vigor behind every action. The temple doors are holiness and separation; I separate perception from lack, and align with covenant loyalty: what I choose to attend to now is part of the divine temple. Presence of God is not distant but felt as a still, luminous awareness that holds both chains and fruit as symbols of disciplined, fruitful worship. I am the I AM, and through imagination these pillars hold up my world.
