Hebrews 9:8

Biblical Context

Hebrews 9:8 signals that the outer tabernacle stands, while the way into the holiest remains hidden in consciousness. It suggests that access is a matter of inner revelation, not external form.

Neville's Inner Vision

Hebrews 9:8 presents the Holy Ghost as signifying that the way into the holiest was not yet manifest while the first tabernacle stood. In Neville's sense, the outer sanctuary and its ritual are symbols reflecting a state of consciousness that has not yet realized its unity with God. The sign is not punishment but an invitation: release attachment to the outer structure and turn your awareness inward. The inner sanctuary is where the door opens, through the I AM that you consciously claim. When you assume the feeling that you are already inside the holiest, when you revision the sense of separation and feel the presence of God as I AM right now, the outer tabernacle fades in importance. Your state of consciousness becomes the new temple; the way into the holiest is a revision of belief, an inner act that makes manifest the reality you already possess.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume you are already inside the holiest. Feel the presence of I AM surrounding you, revise your sense of separation, and let that inner reality become your felt experience now.
