Standing in the Holy Place Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the observer within, 2 Chronicles 35:5 becomes a map of consciousness. The holy place is not a distant shrine but your current awareness, and the divisions of the fathers and Levites are the assorted aspects of your self—the calls of duty, the memory of lineage, the service of your higher nature. When you stand there by decree, you are choosing to let your attention fall into a harmonious order: the 'families' of thought, feeling, and motive standing as you would stand in a sanctuary. The watermark of the verse is obedience to an inner arrangement: you acknowledge your divisions, yet you do not scatter your attention; you assign each part its place in the temple of your mind, then you invite the Presence of God—the I AM you are— to fill the space. Feel that you are not obeying another person’s hierarchy but your own inner government, harmonized by faithfulness and intention. As you dwell in that imagined order, your external experiences bend to reflect the unity you have assumed.
