Silence Before His Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, Habakkuk 2:20 speaks not of a distant shrine but of the inner temple of consciousness. The LORD is within the I AM that you are; the temple is your own awareness, quiet and unshakable. When you perceive the world clamoring for attention, you are being beckoned to enforce a law of silence until the inner I AM rises and orders the stage. The stillness is not absence but alignment—an inner hush that allows the living presence to declare itself. The earth keeps silence because it recognizes the authority of the one who knows. Your task is to withdraw the senses into the field of awareness and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled as the truth of your life. As you dwell there, your thoughts and appearances rearrange themselves to reflect the quiet sovereignty you acknowledge. In this way the verse becomes practical: an inward temple that births outward order from inner peace.
