Dwelling Within: The I Am Tabernacle

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every hour of consciousness, God is not distant but the I AM moving inside. The tabernacle is not a shrine outside you, but the state of awareness you consciously occupy. When Leviticus says, I will set my tabernacle among you and my soul shall not abhor you, it points to a mental climate in which you refuse rejection of yourself and choose to welcome the divine presence. The 'I' who speaks here is the I AM, and the promise that I will walk among you becomes the assurance that your own awareness walks with you, becomes your God, and you become my people. In Neville's terms, this is an inner covenant first: you build a sanctuary in your mind where God can reside, and you align your feeling with that truth until it becomes your lived experience. The outer law of belonging becomes an inner habit of loyalty—staying with the feeling that you are loved, protected, guided. When you persist in the sense of oneness, you remove the illusion of distance and allow the living presence to govern your choices, your reactions, and your days.
