Inner Gateways of Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the gate that looks toward the east is shut; in the inner world, a gate that opens is not needed when the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered by it. In your consciousness, when the I AM enters, the old structures of fear and lack are sealed; there is a prince within you who sits in that gate and eats bread before the Lord—an image of your ruling self fed by divine presence. The gate being shut is not loss but protection; the inner ruler chooses to remain in the Holy of Holies, not exposed to outer traffic. When Ezekiel is brought to the north gate and the glory fills the temple, that is the manifestation of your dormant potential awakened; the temple is your consciousness. The falling on your face is reverence, an acknowledgment that you, as awareness, have witnessed the Infinite within. This is not about external architecture but the inner architecture of your being: consciousness becoming aware of its own sovereignty and sanctity. Practice the felt sense: dwell in the state of the I AM, imagine the gate gently closing as the Divine enters, and watch the life inside you align with that authority.
