Inner Temple of Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s night-visit is not about a distant temple but about a state of consciousness. The appearing of the Lord is the I AM showing you that your inner petition has been heard by the Self that you are. The night is the quiet mind, the space of stillness where images may form. When God says, I have heard thy prayer, imagine that your inner atmosphere has already answered—your desire is registered in your attention. 'Chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice' becomes a directive to you: fix a mental locale within, a temple of sacrifice where you surrender attachment and offer your energy to the greater Self. The house is not stone but a continuous state you maintain—gratitude, faith, and unwavering focus. As you dwell there, your imaginative act aligns with the inner order, and outward events begin to move in harmony with that inner reality. The essential practice is to assume the state of being heard and to stay in that temple until that inner conviction becomes your lived fact.
