Inner Kingdom Gathered Now

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse as a map of your inner kingdom waking to life. The multitude of camels and caravans represent the diverse thoughts, talents, and desires moving toward the altar within—the I AM you. They come bearing gold and incense: gold stands for priceless ideas and realizations; incense for living devotion and heartfelt feeling. These offerings are not commodities handed from without; they are the inner wealth your awareness recognizes and welcomes. When the text says they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, it is your invitation to revise your sense of self so that these manifestations are already real in this moment. Assume the praise and abundance are present now as you stand at your inner altar; feel the welcome warmth of the divine presence as you bless the altar with your attention. God, the I AM within, glorifies the house of your glory by confirming your inner temple as the source of power and peace. The outward pageant—the gathering, the praise—is simply the inner life becoming visible. The Kingdom of God is this ready, welcoming consciousness here and now.
