Inner Reformation of Worship Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In the sanctuary of your mind, Nehemiah’s cleansing declares your I AM tone as sovereign over all thought. The 'strangers' are passing or misaligned beliefs that do not belong to your present awareness; cleansing them restores a single, luminous consciousness. The 'wards of the priests and the Levites' symbolize your faculties—will, imagination, memory, perception, and intention—each assigned to its sacred business and kept in disciplined order. When these inner offices function rightly, your mental temple becomes a purposeful workshop for creation rather than a theatre of distraction. The 'wood offering' and 'firstfruits' signify disciplined offerings of energy and attention, given at appointed moments within your day—moments of decision, stillness, or prayer—where you commit to the ideal you are becoming. The concluding plea, 'Remember me, O my God, for good,' is not a cry of lack but a sovereign affirmation: invoke the memory of your divine nature as the good you intend to live. You are the I AM; your world replies to the state you assume.
