The Inner Standard of Being

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 2:2 appears as a map for the inner life: every son of Israel sets his tent by his own standard, bearing the ensign of his father's house, so the camp stands around the tabernacle. In Neville's interpretation, the camp is the state of your consciousness, and the banner is a fixed idea or quality you assent to as real. When you claim a standard you want to live by—honor, faith, abundance, love—you arrange your inner field so that the tabernacle, the living presence of God, sits at the center of your awareness. If you identify with limitation, your inner banners will reflect and reinforce that limitation, keeping the divine sanctuary on the horizon of your life. But when you align with the truth of your father's house—your divine lineage as the I AM—you circle that sanctuary with your banners until your life becomes the circumference of that sacred space. The practical teaching is: choose the standard you will honor, revise any contrary belief, and dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, as if the temple already stands within you. Your unity comes not from blending shadows but from each banner faithfully surrounding the sacred center.
