Inner Zion and Sacred Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Zion here is your present state of consciousness—the I AM that you are when you awaken to God within. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion means you align your outward choices with the inner law of your own awareness, not by effort, but by recognizing you already are the good that you seek. The walls of Jerusalem you are asked to build are the boundaries of your inner city: disciplined thoughts, purified motives, and a steady refusal to yield to fear, doubt, or distraction. When those walls rise, you stand free from compulsions that drain energy, and you begin to hear the music of Presence in every moment. Then comes the offering: the sacrifices of righteousness. These are not animal rites but living acts—acts of integrity, compassion, truth, and consistent alignment with your higher self. They are offerings made in consciousness, pleasing to the God you are aware of. The altar is the heart that holds the image of your true Self; the bullocks are the mental images you choose to release in favor of truth and love.
