We Build the Inner Temple

Neville's Inner Vision

These words summon you to take inventory of the inner temple, not the outward market. You looked for much, but it came to little because your attention wandered from the sanctuary of awareness to the houses you build for yourself. When the inner temple is waste, the wind of circumstance blows upon your offerings and disperses them; you are left with less because you have not nourished the one place that can bless all places. The Lord of hosts is the I AM within you, a presence that answers your altered state. 'Because of mine house that is waste' says: if you neglect the sanctuary where you are conscious, you neglect all your striving. So repair the temple in your mind: dwell there; imagine the light of God filling it; feel the certainty that the I AM reigns there. As you rest in that embrace, your outer conditions respond—abundance returns not by forcing events, but as the natural fruit of a mind restored to its true house.
