Corners and Rings of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the text speaks not of timber but of the architecture of your consciousness. The two boards at the corners symbolize fixed states of awareness you choose to hold on the sides of life. They are bound beneath and at the head by a ring—an image that unity itself must fashion in your I AM, binding the parts into one sacred whole. The eight boards stand for the many facets of your being, and their sixteen sockets of silver show how pure awareness can ground each facet in the single heart of God within you. When you imagine this arrangement, you are building a sanctuary where Presence can dwell. The Presence is the I AM you are, not a distant deity, but the binding principle that makes your inner space holy. By imagining the ring of unity holding the corners together, you revise any sense of separation and invite a wholeness that can govern every moment. Practice: close your eyes, assume the I AM as your central state, and see your corners aligned as the ring binds them into one.
