Guarding Your Inner Sanctuary

Neville's Inner Vision

Your sanctuary is your state of consciousness, the temple of your I AM. When Ezekiel speaks of giving it into the strangers’ hands and to the wicked for a spoil, he describes inner conditions, not a geographical event. The strangers and robbers are thoughts and desires that pretend to govern your life when you have forgotten who you are. They pollute the holy place when you identify with them as real. The moment God turns His face from them, He is teaching you that awareness withdraws from any state that does not serve purity. You cannot be polluted by what you no longer claim as yourself. The remedy is clear: return to the I AM, assume the feeling of the temple already guarded by you, and revise the scene so the sanctuary is clean and inviolate. Hold to the inner assumption long enough for the outer world to reflect that sovereign order. In that inner rearrangement you participate in Ezekiel's law of consciousness: your attention governs the temple, and the power to cleanse resides within you.
