Dedicating the Inner Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer ritual is a sign of an inner covenant. The altar stands for your central sphere of consciousness where all prayers and decisions are offered. The princes symbolize the distinct faculties of your mind—will, judgment, faith, devotion—each with a day to offer and be offered, until the whole self is consecrated to the I AM, the awareness that remains when all forms fall away. When the Lord says, They shall offer, each prince on his day, He invites you to observe the rhythm of your thoughts and feelings and to place them upon the altar of awareness. The act is not a ritual you perform to impress a power apart from you, but a declaration that you are the one who thinks, feels, and chooses; you align every part of yourself with the one Life within. By presenting your qualities as gifts you begin to reinforce in consciousness the reality you desire. The altar is not elsewhere; it is your own mind purified by intention and sustained by faith. Covenant loyalty grows as you maintain this practice daily.
