Inner Tabernacle of Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the verse is not a travel itinerary but a map of the self. The tabernacle stands for a fixed state of awareness in which attention dwells; the ark of the testimony is the record you carry in consciousness—your accepted truths about God and your life; the mercy seat is the inner throne where grace is imagined as present. The furniture of the tabernacle represents the faculties you mobilize within mind: faith, wisdom, gratitude, worship, and obedient attention. When you treat these inner furnishings as real within your own consciousness, you are not seeking something outside; you are seeking to become the sanctuary itself. The outer ceremonial language recedes as you insist that I AM, or God, is the only reality here and now. In that mood of assumed truth, you revise any sense of separation or lack by dwelling in the Presence as an already accomplished fact. Imagination then creates the corresponding outer scene because it is the I AM in motion. Therefore, dwell in the sanctuary, and the world will reflect its new order.
