Inner Temple Barriers Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard vein: The scripture speaks not of others out there, but of you within: Ammonite and Moabite are symbols of stubborn beliefs, inherited judgments, or wounds you hold against parts of yourself. The 'congregation of the LORD' is the gathering of your own I AM awareness, the inner temple where life consciously manifests. The decree that they shall not enter for ever marks how certain states are kept out by mental habit—long-standing, not just recent misdeeds. The 'tenth generation' hints at the cumulative effect of identifications you stamp with unworthy or different. But as you are the I AM, you can revise any such boundary by turning your attention away from the separation and toward unity. The 'law' here is a call to purify your inner climate: you are consciousness; what you imagine, you re-create. When you decide that every remembered grievance, every 'other,' and every inherited prejudice belongs to the same consciousness as you, you dissolve the boundary. The inner congregation becomes inclusive, and the moment you feel it, the imagined barrier collapses; you have entered the temple by believing you are the very law that governs it.
