Inner Bases of Sacred Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the bases and the laver symbolize established stations of attention—the solid ground on which your inner rites unfold. The one sea, under twelve oxen, points to a mind nourished by the twelve faculties of life that bear your awareness. To place the laver upon the bases is to assume that cleansing occurs now, as your feeling-sense rests in the Presence. This is not ceremony for its own sake but a practice of true worship: the motive purified, the attention fixed, and the heart held by the I AM. When you dwell as I AM, you live from the finished state; every thought and action rides on this foundation, and the sea’s depth reveals the limitless life flowing from an orderly inner temple. Picture your temple as complete: solid bases, a basin of cleansing, and the life-giving sea supported by the twelve faculties, all harmonized by your unwavering awareness.
