Inner Temple Under Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the city as your outer consciousness and the temple as the inner state of awareness. The accusation of impurity is not against you but a misperception arising in the collective mind of your conditioning. Paul, the bearer of your higher intent, stands for your I AM presence, moving through pressure. Trophimus the Ephesian represents a belief or impulse you have welcomed into your inner precinct whose appearance stirs fear of disturbance to holy worship. The crowd and the hurried removal illustrate how attention can be diverted by appearances when you forget your inner sovereignty; the doors being shut shows fear's boundary against truth. The remedy is to revise the scene with the certainty that you and God are one; you are always safe in the temple of consciousness. See Paul walking freely, your I AM unmoved, while the outer mind relents. When you inhabit your inner kingdom, misperceptions lose their power and true worship remains.
