Inner Brass Vessels of Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

See the altar in the theater of your own awareness. The vessels—the pots, shovels, basins, fleshhooks, and firepans—are your inner faculties pressed into sacred service by the I AM. Brass, the alloy of copper and zinc, denotes a mind tempered by heat—firm, bright, and enduring. By imagining these tools already formed in brass, you pledge a covenant loyalty to truth: worship becomes alignment of feeling, thought, and action with your divine I AM. The act of forging them from brass declares tyranny of fear dissolved; nothing is allowed to rust in the holy purpose. When you hold them in imagination and see yourself using them in a holy work, you train consciousness to receive nourishment, cleanse, warm, and illuminate—without external ritual. You separate what is merely outward from what is within, and you reaffirm that your true altar is your own living state of awareness. The reality you seek is the steady I AM you choose in this moment; that choice itself is the brass that holds everything together.
