Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner temple of your mind, the sparrow that found a house and the swallow that nests at the altar declare a truth: you have discovered a dwelling place that is always singing to the King within. The 'house' is not a stone building but your state of awareness, a state in which you acknowledge that God, the I AM, is the ruling presence of your life. When you dwell there, you acknowledge that you are under the kingship and the authority of your own awareness; you stop seeking outside approval and rest in the certainty that the divine is present as you. Those who dwell in this house are those who do not vacate it for mere distraction; they still praise, their attention remains fixed on the source, and every experience is read through the consciousness of God. Selah invites you to pause, to let the inner notes of worship rise unhurriedly. Practically, you can shift your center to the I AM and allow the sense of union to settle into your bones; let gratitude flood the mind, and everything you call 'world' will align with your inner orientation.
