Rebuilding the Inner Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the house of the LORD as the temple of your own awareness. The text speaks of laborers hired to repair breaches and to furnish the house, while no bowls of gold or silver are minted for display; the energy once claimed for ceremonial vanity is not wasted but redirected to the practical healing of your inner sanctuary. When you understand that God is the I AM within, the money given is not to be hoarded but to be employed in the service of life. The laborers are your faculties—discernment, patience, and faithfulness—working to mend the rents in your awareness. The withholding of gold vessels signals that true worship is not outward ornament but right use of energy in consistent service to your own inner temple. By directing your attention and imagination to repairing the breaches, you align with the law of increase: the more you invest in the house inside, the more the inner walls are strengthened, and you experience calm, order, and faith in your daily world.
