Centering Your Inner Sanctuary

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the border of Judah as the boundary lines of your present state of consciousness, from east to west—the waking self and its inward angle. The offering described—twenty-five thousand reeds in breadth and length aligned with the other parts—symbolizes the vast, balanced devotion you bring when you refuse to short-circuit any area of life. And in the midst of this great oblation stands the sanctuary—the I AM, your ever-present awareness—dwelling not somewhere else but at the center of attention. When you keep that sanctuary fixed at the center, the whole oblation becomes worship in action: your thoughts, feelings, and images are consecrated and ordered around the living presence. The demand here is covenant loyalty: be true to the inner God, letting fear, blame, or lack fall away. Holiness, then, is the habit of returning to the center, of keeping faith with the inner covenant. This reading makes spirituality practical: awaken, arrange, and dwell in the center where God is.
