Inner Tabernacle Bars

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Exodus image, the tabernacle is your own mind, and the boards are the beliefs and habits that hold your life in place. The five bars on one side, five on the other, and the five along the western side speak of the many lines of consciousness you keep stacked around your sense of self. The middle bar, shooting through from end to end, is the unifying principle that runs through every thought and feeling - your I AM, the awareness that binds all parts into a single temple. The boards overlaid with gold, and the rings and bars also gilded, signify that your very architecture is refined by divine idea. When you behold this arrangement, you are reminded that God is not apart from you but the light you pour into your own mind. The temple stands as a symbol of the completed state you can live in now, by assuming it and feeling it real, regardless of outward appearances. Your task is to persist in the conviction that the structure exists within you, and that the gold of your imagination beautifies each moment.
