Inner Pillars of Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the four pillars symbolize fixed states of consciousness rather than mere timber. Each pillar represents a characteristic I AM must inhabit—faith, courage, gratitude, and obedience. The gold overlay signifies the light of imagination that beautifies and stabilizes these states. The gold hooks are the intentional links that keep them aloft in awareness, while the four silver sockets are the receptive foundations—silence, discipline, stillness, and receptive faith—where they rest. When I dwell in Presence, the inner tabernacle becomes tangible, and the outer world aligns with the arrangement of my inner life. God is not distant but the I AM within, the awareness that anchors every experience. Covenant loyalty here means fidelity to that inner awareness, maintaining the temple of consciousness steady and true. This architecture shows that true worship is an inner state, whose inner order manifests as outer reality when I calmly revise my assumptions and dwell in the Presence.
