Inner Temple Reclaimed

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the 'city' of Ezekiel's vision stands as your mind. The 'eminent place' and 'high places' are states of consciousness you have erected when you identify with appearances, status, or fear. 'Every street' and 'every head of the way' show how these misaligned worships intrude at every decision point. The 'beauty' that is abhorred is the true beauty of your divine nature when it is projected onto idols; 'opening thy feet to every passerby' means surrendering attention to every impulse, every outward influence, rather than staying in the quiet, unconditioned I AM. The 'Egyptians' are old attachments—fleshly neighbors—still believed to hold power. By increasing 'thy whoredoms' you awaken anger within the inner God, not to punish you, but to rouse a choice: return to the one reality. The remedy is a revision: claim the I AM as the sole ruler of your inner city; see all altars dissolve into one sacred altar and feel the consciousness that animates you fill every chamber. When you live from that vow, the outer images lose power and you experience true worship as inner alignment.
