Inner Altar Of Pure Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your mind, the incense altar is not a bronze object but your own state of consciousness. The shittim wood represents your humanity, and the pure gold overlay denotes the I AM that covers every facet of you. The horns signify the steadfastness of your intention; the crown around the top is awareness itself keeping the flame pure; the two rings and the staves show how your attention and action support this center. The altar is holy because you dedicate thoughts and feelings to the rising incense—prayers, gratitude, alignment with truth. When you imagine this inner altar, you revise the sense of separation into the certainty that you are a living temple of worship. Practice remains: dwell in that state, feel it as real now, and let the fragrance of true worship color your daily life by virtue of your awareness.
