Glory’s Departure, Inner Threshold

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the text speaks not of a sacred building but of your own consciousness. The 'glory' is the living I AM, the awareness that animates every impression. When the glory departs from the threshold, it signals a shift in state: you have identified with a former sense of self or a boundary believed to insulate you from presence. The threshold is simply a boundary in awareness—an idea that God’s presence is elsewhere, beyond your reach. The cherubim standing over the departure are guardians of your inner faculties—memory, imagination, feeling, and faith—inviting you to reorder them. The moment you notice departure, you are invited to revise the scene: you are not empty; you are the I AM who remains. Assume the presence now; feel the glory resting above the cherubim as your elevated awareness. Practice imagining the room, the body, the world, suffused with the same living presence. This is the birth of a new reality, not by pleading, but by choosing a truer I AM and feeling it real in the present.
