Boundaries Of The Sacred Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s vision, the exact measuring is not a mere yardstick task but a spiritual allegory. The inner house is already a state of awareness you may inhabit; the walls are the disciplined distinctions you create between holy and unholy thoughts, between sacred expectancy and profane habit. When the seer completes the measurement on all four sides—the east, north, south, and west—he demonstrates that wholeness is a fixed, perfectly delineated state in consciousness. The wall that marks the sanctuary from the profane is your immutable boundary of perception, a boundary you consciously define and protect. In Neville terms, the temple is the I AM you awaken into through deliberate assumption, revision, and feeling-it-real. By declaring and holding a complete circuit of awareness around your sacred space, you prevent profane images from crossing into your center. The east-gate orientation invites a spiritual opening, a directionality that makes your inner life a living sanctuary, not a mere idea. The act of measurement is the mental discipline that anchors your attention; the sacred enclosure exists not in time's roaming, but in the present you deliberately inhabit.
