Inner Sanctuary, Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM within you, these verses reveal not a distant temple but your current state of consciousness. The golden censer and the ark overlaid with gold symbolize the tools and treasures you carry when attention is yoked to inner truth. The manna is the nourishment of ideas that sustain your living; Aaron's rod that budded signifies growth springing from your own core, not from outward authority. The tables of the covenant are the terms you renew in your heart—the agreement with your inner I AM. The cherubim of glory, shadowing the mercy-seat, are the protective light that surrounds your awareness, guarding the seat where grace rests. Since the scriptures say we cannot speak of certain things in detail, do not seek outside explanations. Instead, assume and revise: picture yourself stepping into the sanctuary as your present state, and affirm that God dwells there now as your I AM. When you inhabit that space with steady feeling, the outer world will conform to the order you have assumed.
