Stones of the Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM wears a garment of awareness called life. The four rows of stones are not outside jewels but stages of consciousness you freely choose to inhabit. Each row—first sardius, topaz, carbuncle; second emerald, sapphire, diamond; third ligure, agate, amethyst; fourth beryl, onyx, jasper—represents a facet of covenant loyalty and the inner presence with God. In Neville’s teaching, imagination fashions reality; therefore you set these stones in gold-settings of your mind, so holiness becomes a steady state, not a sudden event. When you align with these inner stones—truth, courage, love, and gratitude—you experience the Presence of God as the I AM’s quiet supervision within. The outer priesthood becomes an inner priesthood: you are the breastplate’s wearer, its stones, and its gold, all witnessed by your own consciousness. This is true worship: a deliberate arranging of states until their harmony becomes your habitual life.
