Guarded King Within the Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the king as your I AM—the living center of awareness you carry. The guards, armed and arranged around the temple, are the dispositions of mind you have allowed to stand watch. They encircle from corner to corner, along by the altar and temple, not as external soldiers but as the boundaries your imagination has drawn around your sacred center. When you, in imagination, assume a feeling of safety, authority, or blessing, you are placing a mental ring over the throne: you are insisting that nothing false can invade your consciousness. In Neville's teaching, the presence of God is the I AM presence in action; this ring is God’s ring in your own psyche, keeping your inner king intact as you walk through appearances. So if fear or limitation arises, revise the scene by reaffirming, I AM the king, and this circle of awareness guards my reality. Practice in the stillness: feel yourself seated, surrounded by the guard, and dwell in the assurance that your reality follows your assumption.
