Inner Temple Doors Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's language, the altar is not a thing outside you but the wooden altar of your own imagination—the table of your attention where you feed the One I AM with your thoughts and feelings. 'The table before the LORD' becomes the living arrangement of your awareness, a place you nourish with assumption. The two doors of the temple are not brick and mortar, but two turning doors of belief in your mind, openings you choose to grant to the divine or keep shut. The two leaves apiece symbolize the pair of conditions you hold: acceptance and doubt, openness and resistance. When you align with present awareness—when you pass through the doors by steadfast assumption—the sanctuary blooms with grace and favor. The 'presence of God' is simply the I AM within you, and the entire scene is formed by your imagination, kept alive by your ongoing feeling-of-right-now conviction.
