Reed Foundations of the Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s reading, the house is your own state of consciousness, the height around you is the extent of your awareness, and the round-about walls mark the boundary you uphold in imagination. The foundations of the side chambers built with a full reed of six great cubits signify a fixed, exact standard by which you measure every thought and feeling. The reed is not a thing outside you but an instrument of inner alignment: a disciplined unit of awareness that anchors your inner worship. Six cubits can represent a complete, repeatable measure you choose to hold in mind as the truth by which all appearances are judged. The emphasis on holiness and separation becomes the act of excluding doubt, keeping the temple clean for the indwelling Presence, the I AM, shining as consciousness itself. When you assume a state of I AM, you are not building a temple at a distance, you are recalibrating your inner architecture so that life itself reflects the holy order you have declared. Your environment becomes a mirror of your inner foundation.
