Illuminating Inner Lamps

Neville's Inner Vision

Interpret the lamps as your thoughts and feelings, and the pure candlestick as your unconditioned awareness—the I AM behind every perception. To 'order the lamps' is to discipline your inner state so that each mental light moves in harmony with your divine, unconditional consciousness. 'Before the LORD continually' means keeping this order present to your inward attention at all times, not as a ritual external to you but as a lived felt-reality of your awareness. When you revise a troubling thought, you are rearranging the lamps, re-illuminating the room of your mind with a steady, pure light that cannot be quenched by circumstances. Your life becomes the candlestick lit from within, and the world you perceive reflects the constancy of this inward order. Practice is a daily, moment-by-moment return of attention to the I AM, recognizing that you are both the lampstand and the light itself, shining through your choices, feelings, and imagination.
