Sanctuary Within: Desolation Transformed

Neville's Inner Vision

To the watcher within, the line is not about bricks but about the inner posture of consciousness. Lift up thy feet—shift your stance from the sense of outer ruin to deliberate inner adjacency with the I AM. Perpetual desolations are the recurring stories your mind tells when you forget that the sanctuary is your awareness. The sanctuary, your true I AM, remains intact even as the appearance of desecration plays out in the field of senses. The 'enemy' is only a thought that would have you believe you are separate from God; when you identify with the I AM, that movement dissolves. As you persist in the assumption that the temple is preserved, you revise the desolation by imagination—remembering that imagination creates reality. Your inner act rewrites the scene, and the outer is compelled to follow. The verse thus invites you to dwell in the truth that your consciousness rules the temple and that every attack against it is a call to awaken.
