Inner Tabernacle Of Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage speaks not of distant temples but of a state of consciousness you can enter now. The first covenant and its worldly sanctuary symbolize your present, exteriorized beliefs and perceptions. The candlestick is the inner light of awareness that illuminates choices; the table and the bread stand for the ideas you feed and sustain you; the showbread marks God’s presence as a felt, constant truth. In Neville’s terms, the ordinances of divine service become daily acts of assumption, revision, and feeling-it-real. When you identify with the I AM, you inhabit a sanctuary within where form follows your inner state. The outer world, the “worldly sanctuary,” is the echo of your inner worship; by shifting your inner posture, you reorganize the furniture of your life and invite the divine presence to dwell there.
