Steps Into the Inner Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

To the heart that feels the words of the psalm, Jerusalem is not a distant city but the state of consciousness your I AM awakens within. The invitation 'Let us go into the house of the LORD' is an invitation to cross the threshold of dwindling awareness into the living sanctuary you carry inside—a sanctuary not made with hands, but with attention and imagination. When you imagine yourself standing at the gates, you are not seeking a place but establishing a habitual posture: your feet planted in the gates of awareness, your breath aligned with peace, your thoughts ordered by the presence you call God. The 'house of the LORD' becomes the quiet center of your being where every desire, every event, and every relationship is seen as a movement of the one life. As you dwell there, the world beyond your inner boundary begins to reflect the stillness and order of Jerusalem. The verse teaches that true arrival is an inner welcome; the outer temple is always a reflection of the inner sanctuary you affirm now.
