Inner Tabernacle Of Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Exodus' account, the outer sanctuary mirrors your inner field of consciousness. The command to do all I have commanded thee is not mere ritual but the inner order by which experience is formed. The ark of the testimony is your I AM—your essential self—placed inside the sanctuary of awareness. The mercy seat is the posture of consciousness that receives truth and reflects it back as life. The various furnishings—the table, the pure candlestick, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering, the laver and its foot, and the priestly robes—are inner states and habits you cultivate through imagination and feeling, not possessions. The anointing oil and sweet incense symbolize your feelings and prayers, anointed and sealed by intention toward the holy place. The garments of Aaron and his sons signify a refined being prepared to minister in the inner sanctuary. When you honor this inner order and align your feeling with the truth of I AM, holiness becomes your natural state and the Presence of God takes up residence within your own consciousness.
