Altar Of Inner Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

The altar is the inner sanctuary, the realm of your I AM, where joy is not a condition you seek but a state you assume. When you say 'unto God my exceeding joy,' you are not petitioning a distant deity; you are awakening to the reality that you already are the living, conscious awareness. The harp becomes your imagination, the instrument through which you sustain the impression of what you desire. To 'go unto the altar' is to shift your focus from lack to the feeling of wish fulfilled; you shift your inner mood, and the outer circumstances follow as echoes of that mood. The moment you sit in that inner temple, you praise 'thee, O God my God' with confidence, not fear, because you know God is the I AM within you. Use repetition to feel the presence; let the strain of memory yield to the music of inner realization. The world you experience is the reverberation of that assumed joy.
