Linen Hangings of the Inner Court

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse you are shown not a material fence but the boundary you draw in your own consciousness. The court is your field of awareness; the south side hangings of fine twined linen mark a pure, ordered space where your inner worship can stand free from clutter. The linen speaks of refinement of thought and discernment—a disciplined texture upon which your claims of presence are written. The hundred cubits point to the extent of your focus, the length of your attention given to what you choose to build within. As you read, imagine that the boundary is already there in your inner room, and God—your I AM, your awareness—is inside, present, surrounding your watchful self. Your faith is not a claim about a distant temple, but a state you assume and then live from. When you revise any doubt, you lengthen the boundary, you soften fear, you deepen devotion; you are covenant-loyal to the truth you hold in mind.
