Inner Temple Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the outward pageantry mirrors the inward posture of consciousness. In Neville's reading, the king and the people are states of awareness offering sacrifices—choices, habits, and beliefs—before the LORD, the I AM. The vast procession of oxen and sheep signifies the mind's abundance when aligned with the divine; not to appease an angry deity, but to declare that your inner throne has accepted the awareness that you are the I AM. When the instruments of music rise, they are the vibrational thoughts of praise awakened by the living David within you; the ministry is your imaginative activity praising the LORD, whose mercy endures forever. The act of standing before the temple represents your interior stillness in the presence of God—awareness that endures beyond form. As you practice, realize that mercy is your inner grace, never failing when you praise by your inner ministry. Thus the temple is not a building but your own consciousness illuminated by gratitude and firm faith in the I AM.
