Dwelling In The Inner Tabernacle

Neville's Inner Vision

Who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? The answer is not to be found in geography but in the state of consciousness you cultivate. To dwell is to be at home in your own I AM, where you keep faith with the inner law: upright conduct, righteous action, and truth spoken from the heart. He who backbites not, harms no neighbor, and takes up no reproach against neighbor is he who walks within this holy imagination. In the eyes of your inner man, the vile person is contemned, not by judging outwardly, but by reserving your sacred attention for what elevates life. You honor those who fear the LORD, and you swear to your own hurt and do not change. This is the discipline of alignment: the boundaries you set in consciousness determine the boundaries of your world. When you assume you are already the one who lives thus, your external life reflects it. The tabernacle and the holy hill are inner dispositions: you inhabit them by choosing consistency between what you profess and what you practice. The kingdom is within; you become it by faithfulness to your own conscious contract with God as I AM.
