Inner Ark of Presence Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the ark is not a box of wood but the inner sanctuary of your own awareness. The testimony—the truths you accept—goes into the ark, meaning you harmonize belief with the I AM that you are. The mercy seat placed above the ark signals that mercy and judgment meet in your consciousness from the throne of awareness, not as distant powers but as the felt sense of knowing that you are held and accepted. The staves are the durable handles by which you carry your state into the sanctuary; this is discipline, consistency, faithfulness to your inner law. When Moses brings the ark into the tabernacle and covers it, you are learning to bring your inner state into the field of attention and then veil it from ordinary sense, yet keep it guarded by the divine order commanded in consciousness. The LORD's command shows that this is not random fantasy but a lawful alignment of your inner world with its own spiritual architecture. In Neville's terms, this is the moment of I AM in action: awareness receives, holds, and radiates the truth you insist upon. Practice patience and let sensation follow belief; the Presence is the natural atmosphere of your realized state.
