Inner Temple Readiness

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse lies a vivid map of inner life. the priests, sons of Aaron, busy themselves with burnt offerings and the fat until night, symbolizing the active, ritualized thoughts and emotional patterns that exhaust the mind in striving and outward piety. The Levites, who prepare for themselves and for the priests, represent the steady, organizing faculty of consciousness—the inner discipline that maintains the atmosphere of worship. When viewed through the I AM, the awareness that animates all, the scene shifts from external ritual to internal alignment: the temple within must be kept in order so that true worship—presence, holiness, healing—can dwell. The presence of God is not a distant fate earned by labor; it arises when the heart and imagination are prepared to receive. The Levites’ quiet preparation complements the priests’ offerings, ensuring the mind’s house is ready for the divine impression to enter. This is a portrait of inner cooperation where imagination, faith, and calm readiness create a sanctuary within.
