Inner Temple Purification

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's frame, the temple is your inner state. The borders cut and the removal of the laver symbolize you cutting away fixed external forms of worship to unveil the living I AM behind them. When Ahaz shifts the sea from under the oxen to a pavement of stones, it is a surrender of the belief that holiness rests in external apparatus. The true altar lies in consciousness that is aware of itself; the act is an invitation to examine what you count as sacred. The removal of borders is a revision of identity: you are not the vessel or the stones, you are the awareness that sees through them. By practicing this, you shift from fear of impurity to the realization that purity is a state of mind, not a thing to be guarded. If you imagine the sea of your attention resting on living stone, you are choosing an inner sanctuary where no surface worship can define you. Worship becomes a felt sense of I AM present, here and now.
