Inner Temple Prayer Recalled

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Jonah speaks from the theatre of your own consciousness. When your soul faints—your ordinary sense of separation—you are invited to remember the LORD, which is to remember the I AM that you are. The 'prayer' that arises is not supplication to an distant deity but the movement of awareness into the holy temple of your own being, where the Presence is eternally resident. In this interior temple, God answers not as a distant judge but as conviction, mercy, and a felt unity with all life, because you have ceased worshipping lying vanities—identities, images, fears, and cravings that pretend to be you. These vanities are not God; they are misdirections that cut you off from your true mercy. When you assume the truth of God within, you align with the ever-present I AM and your prayers become the reality you already hold. Your deepest desire is already planted in the one consciousness; you simply revise your sense of self to match that reality, returning to the source where mercy dwells.
