Inner Temple Of The I Am
2 Chronicles 6:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon states that God would dwell in thick darkness, and that he has built a house for God to dwell forever. The verse points to the tension between divine presence and human sanctuary, inviting inner reliance.
Neville's Inner Vision
God is not contained in stone, but in the I AM that witnesses. When Solomon says the LORD would dwell in thick darkness, he speaks of the hidden reality within you where awareness shines. The 'house of habitation' you claim to have built is not a separate temple but your practiced posture of imagination—your consistent assumption that God already lives in you. The outer sanctuary is a symbol of your reverence; the true dwelling is the inner state that remains poised in the stillness of consciousness. Therefore, the covenant loyalty you seek is fidelity to the present sense of I AM, a daily revision of experience until it feels inevitable. If you insist that God is beyond you, you deny the very awareness that makes your world appear. But if you acknowledge that the I AM is within, you invite God to inhabit everything you think, feel, and do. The 'forever' dwelling is not a distant promise but the steady reality you offer to your own consciousness through imagination and faith.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe into the stillness, and repeat, 'The I AM resides within me now.' Then proceed through your day carrying that inner temple as your guiding sense of reality.
