The Inner Golden Porch

Neville's Inner Vision

Visualize the porch at the front of the house as the living boundary between your ordinary self and the sanctum of awareness within. Its length equals the breadth of your present focus, its height a rising of consciousness, and the pure gold overlay marks the inner wealth you already possess. Gold here is not metal but symbol of purity, integrity, and the Presence you are in truth. When you dwell in that inward state, you are not seeking God; you are acknowledging the I AM that fills all you behold. Imagination is the instrument by which your inner state becomes visible in form, and the gilding is your decision that your outer world shall reflect sanctity and plenitude. So long as you treat the porch as a mere ornament, you keep the temple door ajar; when you revise by feeling the gold as your reality, you seal the presence of God within your house. The outer serves the inner; the inner crowns the outer with light.
