Inner Temple Divine Watch

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Psalms, the outer world is a symbol of your inner state. The Lord in his holy temple is the I AM within you, the throne of consciousness resting in heaven of awareness. His eyes behold; his eyelids try—the tests are not judgments imposed from without, but reflections of your present alignment. When you feel righteous, you remain firm; when you yield to violence within, you sense distance from this holy watch. The LORD trieth the righteous: in other words, your higher self permits life to reveal whether the inner king rules with justice or the lower appetites rule with force. The wicked and him that loveth violence hateth: the rebellious thoughts—anger, coercion, fear—are not loved by the divine nature you are, for they break harmony. So, see that God’s gaze is not to punish you but to purify your state. Return to the quiet certainty that you are the I AM, the temple where God dwells, and let the inner eye rest on that truth until it feels real, here and now.
