Inner Temple Dimensions

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard reading, the 'building' before the separate place is your present state, the outer likeness of your inner convictions. The dimensions are metaphors for the consistency, boundaries, and expansion of your consciousness. Seventy cubits breadth suggests a generous field of imaginative activity, an arena large enough to work miracles within the threshold of your awareness. Five cubits thickness around the walls speaks of disciplined boundaries—the senses yoked by the I AM, the attention shielded from stray images by the habit of inner focus. Ninety cubits length marks forward movement: your thoughts and feelings stretch into time, carrying a clear sense of purpose toward the inner sanctuary. The 'separate place at the end toward the west' points inward—west as returning to stillness, to the source, to the I AM that animates all forms. The presence of the 'building' near the inner sanctuary invites you to treat your life as a temple you are building with imagination, not a place you visit. When you dwell in this consciousness and assume the state, the temple becomes the stage on which your desired reality takes shape through feeling and acknowledgment.
