Inner Temple, Den Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the temple as your present state of consciousness, the very house you call 'I AM' within. When your inner worship becomes a den of robbers, it means you have allowed fear, pride, or appetite to barter with truth, instead of letting the presence of the I AM govern every thought. Jeremiah’s God is not outside but the seeing awareness within you: he watches all inner movements and will not tolerate a counterfeit sanctuary. The remedy is simple in principle: assume a new reality by recognizing that the I AM is always here where you stand, and that your temple is kept holy by your attention. Begin revising by declaring, in imagination, that the robberies of lack, guilt, or self-concern are dissolved, and that you dwell in the presence that never steals from itself. As you persist, the inner atmosphere shifts; what once felt like a crowded, conflicted chamber becomes a quiet temple open to divine intention.
