The Inner House Pattern

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the temple is not a building but a state of consciousness you can inhabit. The command to show the house is an invitation to demonstrate the exact pattern of your inner life. When you measure the pattern, you test how faithfully your present assumption mirrors the form you desire, and you align yourself with that form until it becomes your normal way of being. If you are ashamed of past deeds, you are not punished by an external law but given the chance to revise the image you carry of yourself—the form, the goings in and goings out, the ordinances. Write the pattern in your sight by holding the outline of your ideal state before the mind’s eye until it feels inevitable. The law of the house, described as holy, is your inner decree of life; when you dwell in that decree, you enact it outwardly. The mountain’s limit is the edge of your current state, yet by the power of assumption you can raise the entire summit and dwell where that state already is.
