Seven Altars of Inner Meeting

Neville's Inner Vision

God is not a faroff judge but the I AM within you, and Balaam’s meeting is your turning of attention from outer ritual to inner presence. ‘I have prepared seven altars’ signals seven distinct centers of consciousness you have placed within your psyche. On each altar you offer a sacrifice, not to appease an outside deity, but to redefine your reality through inner conviction. The altars are not external stages but inner faculties: will, perception, memory, imagination, feeling, desire, speech—each altar lit by awareness itself. The offerings—bullock and ram—are the old beliefs you surrender to the Presence: the sense of lack, the image of separation, the insistence that life comes from without. When you accept that God has prepared these altars inside you, you stop pleading for change and begin living from the already-present reality. The event is a shift in consciousness, a pivot from seeking to finding, from effort to effortless presence. You are Balaam and you are the God who meets him; you are the temple where this dialogue unfolds.
