Inner Covenant, Outer Ark Ended

Neville's Inner Vision

Long before the ark is a memory, the people are living in the awareness that God is not imprisoned in a box but within the I AM present as consciousness. The 'days' spoken of mark a shift from externals to internal loyalty. When you multiply and increase in your land of life, you transcend the need to name or fetch a shrine; you will not call the ark to mind because the temple is now the state of awareness you inhabit. The covenant is kept not by relics but by fidelity to the inner Presence. True worship is thus the steady recollection that God and you are one: the external symbol fades as the inner reality asserts itself. The outward ark is only a signpost pointing inward; as you dwell in the inner I AM, the ritual becomes a memory, not a requirement. The practical turn is to assume the posture of that presence, and you will find the outer forms fall away in your experience, while the covenant remains in force within.
