Inner Temple Insight
2 Chronicles 6:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon notes that even heaven cannot contain God, so the temple is only a sign pointing beyond space. The real dwelling is the I AM within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
God did not dwell in a house built with hands; he dwells within the consciousness that perceives. When Solomon asks if God will truly inhabit the land, he points to a greater reality: the I AM cannot be contained by heaven, nor by stone and timber. Your temple, your sanctuary, is the state of awareness you maintain. If you think God is apart from you, you are simply seeing through the lens of limitation. The moment you entertain the feeling that the I AM is dwelling in you now, you are lifting the veil. The true dwelling is not a structure but the stabilized sense of presence that remains when you are quiet, attentive, and faithful to your inner reality. Practice a shift of belief: assume the I AM is resident in this body, this breath, this moment, and let that assumption reframe every event as expression of that presence. Allow contrast, not as evidence of absence, but as a pointer back to the inner temple where you live.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is dwelling within now. Feel the inner presence as a warm, quiet light that permeates your thoughts.
