Sweet Savour Prayer Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Neville ear, Ezra's line is not a historical ritual but a map of your inner theatre. The God of heaven is the I AM within you, the awareness that feels and chooses. When you offer a 'sacrifice of sweet savours' you are not appeasing a distant deity; you are naming a state of feeling—gratitude, right desire, and quiet trust—that makes your inner air fragrant with expectancy. The sweetness is the rising energy of imagination when it is aligned with your truest self. Praying for the life of the king and of his sons becomes praying for the life of the ruler inside you—the King of your consciousness and his heirs—the faculties of reason, love, energy, and imagination. Your petition is for vitality, safety, and flourishing in the scenes of your day. Each act of prayer is an inner revision, an assumption that you are already living that future. The outer events will respond as you hold this vision, for the I AM does not negate your desire; it confirms your dominant state. In that sense the temple and the offering are you, and the throne you seek is your present realization.
