Scripture Focus

7And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

8For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.

9And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.

Ezekiel 42:7-9

Biblical Context

The passage describes an outer wall opposite the chambers, with lengths of fifty cubits for the utter court and the chambers, and an entrance on the east beneath the chambers as one enters from the utter court. It presents a precise inner layout centered on the temple.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses are not bricks but states of consciousness. The wall that stands opposite the chambers is the boundary you maintain between outer noise and inner stillness. Fifty cubits for the chambers marks a settled space you grant to your thoughts and feelings; the utter court's fifty cubits before the temple signals the field of attention you allocate to worship before entering the sanctuary. The entry from beneath these chambers on the east side, as you go into them from the utter court, marks a shift you can claim by imagination: you move from the outer court into the inner through a doorway always present in your awareness. The temple is the I AM you are awake to; as you align with that awareness, the perceived separation dissolves and holiness becomes the natural order of mind. The measurements reveal the structure you consciously build in consciousness; when you revise them to support communion with the Divine within, worship becomes a living practice here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively walk the east entrance beneath the chambers into the inner temple; assume you are the I AM that fills the space. Feel it real by repeating 'I AM the temple' until the sense of separation dissolves.
