The Inner Ark of Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

See the ark as the I AM within you, the center of awareness. The music and procession symbolize the many faculties joyfully engaged in reverence when aligned with inner truth. The oxen carrying the ark represent life moving with faith when guided by inner law. Uzzah’s hand to steady the ark is the impulse to fix the outer sign—an act born of fear and control. When the ground shakes, the inner law requires you relinquish the urge to manipulate the visible symbol and instead yield to the inward movement. The consequence—death to attachment—signals that holiness is not in outward pomp but in obedient trust in the I AM. The lesson: true worship harmonizes with inner alignment; otherwise, the effort to stabilize the external can disrupt the divine rhythm. If you dwell in the inner state, the outward signs will align naturally. Your role is to remain receptive to the inner movement and let the I AM carry you rather than your own grip on the scene.
