Inner Offerings, Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Joel 1:9 speaks not of a historical event alone but of a condition in consciousness where the altar of awareness feels empty and the symbolic offerings are withdrawn. In Neville's method, the house of the LORD is your mind—the temple where desire, attention, and worship converge. When the form of offering is cut off, it signals a belief that your inner sacrament is suspended, and the ministers within you mourn because they cannot present their true contents to consciousness. The healing is not found in chasing outward rituals but in returning to the assumption that you are the I AM, the very altar and fuel of your prayers. Accept the feeling that the kingdom is already present within you; revise the sense of deprivation by declaring I am the temple; I am the sacrifice; my awareness is sufficient and full. As you dwell in that conscious acceptance, the inner movements restore the offerings and the mourning ceases, replaced by a radiant, present worship.
