The Inner Gate of Your Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

The gate is not a piece of cloth divided from you; it is the boundary you consciously draw within your own mind. Blue speaks of truth you choose to inhabit; purple proclaims your royal mindedness as a child of the Most High; scarlet invites the sacrifice of fear and the ardor of inspired action; linen stands for purity of motive and steady attention. Twenty cubits long points to a sustained period of imagining - enough length to cover the field where you dwell with God and thus keep out doubt. The four pillars and four sockets symbolize the steady supports of your inner life: four directions of awareness and four anchors that hold your conviction in place. When you imagine this gate, you are not seeking God elsewhere; you are erecting the threshold through which Presence enters your court. Your job is not to beg, but to assume and feel: behind this gate, the I AM animates every experience; the imagined colors braid reality into harmony, and your life aligns with your innermost decree.
