Guardians at Ezekiel's East Gate

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this scene as your inner drama, not a distant pageant. The cherubim lifted up and mounted from the earth symbolize guarded states of consciousness—holiness, separation, and reverent worship—that rise to guard the gate of your inner temple. The wheels beside them express a moving energy, the dynamic thoughts and feelings that accompany your ascent when you refuse to surrender to mere outward appearances. The door at the east gate marks the place where light enters, where new beginnings touch your mind. As they stand before that door with the glory of the God of Israel above, know that the I AM—the awareness you are—rests immediately above all activity, not in some distant heaven but as your very sense of being. Your imagination is the vehicle that carries this glory into your daily life; when you imagine from the end that you are already within the sanctuary, you create the conditions for true worship to unfold. The scene invites you to shift from seeking externally to recognizing the inner presence already here.
