Restoring the Inner Sanctuary

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 8:11 speaks in the language of outer events, yet its unseen drama is the contest within your own states of consciousness. 'He magnified himself to the prince of the host' is the ego inflating itself to the throne of your inner authority, assuming the right to govern your sanctuary. When this counterfeit self grows bold, the 'daily sacrifice'—the quiet, faithful acts of devotion, gratitude, and alignment you perform each day—are withdrawn, and the place of your sanctuary is cast down. The inner temple does not perish; it is displaced by a loud self-image that believes it rules you. Your actual reality is the I AM, the awareness that remains unmoved amidst all inner movements. The remedy is not struggle but the deliberate act of assuming a higher state: you recognize that the true prince of the host is the I AM within, and you crown that inner ruler in your imagination. In that crowned view, the daily offerings return—the breath, the stillness, the felt presence—re-ordaining the sanctuary as your sovereign state of consciousness.
