Guarding the Inner Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment the temple you protect is your own consciousness. The gate of Sur and the gate behind the guard are not stone doors but focal points of attention—where you allow impressions to enter and where you anchor your mood. The three parts symbolize a complete posture of watchful I AM awareness: one line at the outer doorway of circumstance, one line at the inner doorway where fear can slip in, and the constant watch that remains unmoved by fleeting appearances. When I claim that I AM, not my body or my situation, I invite Providence and Guidance to operate within me. The defense is not a battle with the world but a disciplined alignment of feeling and belief: I remain the keeper of the temple, and the house stands only as long as I dwell in steady, present awareness. The verse invites discernment: what gates am I truly guarding? Am I guarding the truth that I AM, or am I guarding a story about lack? By re-stating, re-imagining, and reaffirming my I AM presence, I maintain the integrity of the inner sanctuary.
