Temple Foundations and Inner Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the verse speaks not only of stone and gold, but of the inner act of finishing; the 'house of the LORD' is the temple of your own awareness where limitation thoughts yield to living certainty. The journeys to Eziongeber and Ophir are inner voyages: you travel in the I AM to distant regions of idea, gathering the green gold of true wealth—discernment, wisdom, and provision. The ships and sailors embody ideas and faculties that carry your desires with knowledge of the sea; the gold signifies value, joy, and abundance that are your natural state. When you feel the completion of the temple within, you invite the outward world to align with that inner wealth. This is a matter of states of consciousness; real change occurs when you adopt the posture of the king who has finished his house and opened his fortune to the world. Practice is simple: imagine the temple finished; consent to the idea that your supply is guaranteed by your inner covenant.
