Inner Temple Stewardship

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are the king of your own kingdom of consciousness. In the eighteenth year of your awareness, you send your Shaphan—a scribe of memory—to the temple of your being to count the silver of your energy the keepers of the door have gathered from your people. Let the money be delivered into the hands of the doers of the work—the builders in you who oversee your temple—so they may repair the breaches of your house. They will use timber and stone—your thoughts and feelings—to repair the cracks where fear, doubt, and longing have loomed. And remember: there is no reckoning required when the labor is done faithfully. Your inner accounts balance because you have dealt faithfully with life’s resources; there is no audit of guilt in the Supreme; only the steady restoration of your temple by trust and faithful action. When you stop doubting and begin feeling your assumption as fact, the house of the LORD is rebuilt within you, and all outward appearances echo that completed work.
