Dwelling Within the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard frame, the vow to find a place for the LORD is a declaration of inner state; the I AM, the mighty God, is not distant but your awareness, and the tabernacle is the posture of your mind. When the psalmist says he will not sleep until he finds this habitation, he describes a disciplined attention to realize the presence within. The true temple you seek is not a wall but the steady, quiet sense of being awake to the I AM. Each day you refuse the weariness of thought until your inner sanctuary—bright, still, and palpable—exists in experience. The oath to covenant loyalty and obedience becomes the habit of choosing thoughts that affirm presence rather than fear. By treating the inner dwelling as already true, you invite the outer world to reflect it. The journey is inward, and the dwelling is within you now as awareness itself that never sleeps.
