Foundation of the Inner Temple
Ezra 3:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
When the temple foundation is laid, the priests and Levites rise to praise, and all the people join in gratitude for God's enduring mercy. It points to your inner life: establish a solid inner foundation and let praise flow from consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the moment the foundation of your temple within is laid. The priests in their robes and the Levitical trumpets and cymbals are inner faculties: faith, attention, thanksgiving, and harmonious judgment moving in order, praising the Lord after the pattern already set by the great King within you. They sing by course, an aligned choir of your thoughts, praising because God is good, because His mercy endures toward you. The great shout you hear is the outward echo of your inward conviction: the foundation is laid; you stand upon a solid consciousness where presence, mercy, and kingship mingle. When you accept this as fact, you awaken a reality that was always yours, not earned. The temple is your life, and the Lord dwells there as I AM presence. Practice: assume you stand in this temple, feel the praise rising from within, and let gratitude and sense of permanence fill you. Then watch as the world reflects the foundation you've declared.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the foundation is laid within you; feel the gratitude rise as a sure trumpet-note, and declare, 'I am the temple; I dwell in presence now.'
