Building The Inner Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

Gad’s command is not about geography but about your inner dwelling. The altar is a state of awareness you consciously erect within the terrain of your mind. When you hear, 'Go up,' you are invited to rise in consciousness above reaction and fear, to choose a fixed point where God—the I AM—resides. The threshing floor, Araunah's place, is the space where you separate the wheat of truth from the chaff of illusions, where your old stories are weighed and found wanting. Rebuilding the altar is an act of intentional worship: you acknowledge that reality flows from your inner assumption, not from outward circumstance. Sacrifice becomes parting with a belief that you are divided from God; true worship is alignment with the Presence that you already are. As you imagine this, the external scene in your life begins to reconfigure to reflect your inner arrangement. The divine presence is not distant but within your consciousness, awaiting your invitation.
