Gate of Heaven Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this through Neville's lens, the place is not a stone temple but the active mind of your own consciousness. The fear and awe Jacob feels are an awakening to the I AM, a tuning of attention to a sacred vibration. The dream's ladder becomes your imaginative life—an inner sequence by which you ascend into harmony with God. When he says, 'this is the house of God,' he is naming that the sanctuary and the doorway lie within, inseparable from your present state of awareness. Thus the 'gate of heaven' is not a distant location but the next thought, the next feeling that allows the I AM to unfold into form. You are the creator by the imagination you persist in assuming. Awaken to the truth that you stand at this threshold now, and the living Presence becomes your reality as you remain conscious of it.
