Inner Gate of Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 8:14 places Ezekiel at the door of the LORD's house, yet this is not a map of a building but a map of consciousness. The north gate and the sight of women weeping for Tammuz are symbols—inner movements of memory and longing, not an external event to be judged. In Neville's terms, such scenes reveal where attention has invested itself in transient forms rather than in the I AM. The true Jerusalem, the temple of God, is the indwelling awareness that never leaves. When you glimpse those weeping figures, you are reminded that you can revise your entire inner scene. The moment you refuse to identify with the image of lack or change, and instead anchor your awareness in the I AM, the need for idolizing Tammuz dissolves. The mind’s gate you walk through is the decision to dwell in consciousness rather than in outward appearances. Practice invites you to assume the reality of the I AM here and now, letting the inner truth displace the remembered sorrow.
