Inner Temple Renovation

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the 'house of the LORD' is the inner temple of consciousness—the state of awareness through which God-consciousness operates. The verse records a decision to divert wealth from exterior splendor to inner restoration. This is a vivid symbol: when energy (money, attention, time) is not spent on ornament, it is redirected to rebuild the inner channels where spirit can dwell. The act embodies obedience and discernment: recognizing that true temple-building occurs not by gold or silver, but by the fidelity of inner alignment with the I AM. The outward structure is a mirror of inward life; so when you invest in inner repair—clarity, trust, compassion—you declare that your life is governed by the smart stewardship of consciousness. If you have believed you must adorn appearances to prove worth, this passage invites you to revise that belief: put resources toward reinforcing the inner temple, and watch the outer world reflect that strengthened dwelling of spirit.
