Inner Tabernacle Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

On the mountain Peter’s instinct to raise tabernacles reveals a natural urge to fix the sacred in form. In Neville’s psychology, such outward worship arises from a state of consciousness that still believes the divine is separate from the self. The moment shows the presence of God moving in the heart, not in stones or shelters. The three tabernacles are the old structures of the ego—identity, memory, and tradition—attempting to hold the living reality of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah in a private shrine. The instruction of the gospel in this light is to revise the scene: recognize that the true dwelling place is your I AM, the awareness in which all figures appear and pass. When you feel the impulse to create an outer sanctuary, return to the realization, ‘I am the tabernacle; the presence of the Father is within me and around me now.’ By restating the scene from the within, you move from form-worship to true worship, where the mount experience becomes a revelation of your own established state of consciousness.
