Guardians of the Inner Sanctuary

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the sanctuary is your present state of consciousness, and the charge is the daily maintenance of your inner attention. The vessels of the sanctuary symbolize your most sacred beliefs and aims; to approach them without preparation would invite a collapse of harmony. The instruction that a stranger shall not come near is a reminder to keep distracting thoughts and compulsions at bay while you tend the sacred work within. When you are joined to the tabernacle, your faculties - awareness, imagination, and will - work as one, inseparable and aligned in a single divine movement. The ultimate purpose, that there be no wrath upon the children of Israel, is the promise that inner order radiates outward, settling your life and dissolving inner storms. The passage thus becomes a practical discipline: daily assumption of the divine order, a sustained feeling of being one with the I AM, and a vigilant yet loving posture toward your inner ground. Practice this and you will discover that the outer field follows the inner alignment.
