Earth Altar and Blessing Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 20:24 is not asking you to build a stone temple; it invites you to erect an altar in consciousness. The earth in the text represents humility and receptivity—the raw, unadorned mind ready to worship in spirit and truth. Your offerings are your states of consciousness: gratitude, trust, patience, forgiveness, steadfast attention to your I AM. When you record God’s name—your true self, your present awareness—in that sacred feeling, a lively presence comes near. Not a distant rumor, but the reality of I AM here and now. The blessing then follows as a natural result of that worship: grace shows up in your affairs because you have given your attention to the one I AM that you are. The altar is portable, for you carry it wherever you are, and the blessing follows your inner condition. Remember, the 'places where I record my name' are the places of your constant awareness, your field of identity. The promise is constant: wherever you persist in naming the presence and living from it, God comes and blesses. So you do not seek; you assume and dwell as the blessing you seek.
