Inner Dwelling of the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 132:5 speaks of finding a place for the LORD, a habitation where the mighty God of Jacob can live inside your consciousness. The 'place' is not a brick-and-mortar building but a steady state of awareness you assume as real. When you desire a dwelling for God, you are declaring that your I AM is greater than opposing thoughts, that your attention is the shelter in which divine presence can reside. The psalm invites you to treat your mind as a temple, to separate from trivial noise and protect the sacred core of being from distraction. To 'find out a place' is to revise what you believe about yourself until the truth of God’s residence becomes your lived experience. As you persist in this imagining, you begin to feel the mighty God weaving through your choices, your desires, your daily acts, until you recognize that you are the house of God—your inner sanctuary made manifest. So the external world shifts to match the calm, holy center you have assumed as real.
