Inner Temple, Outer Gentiles

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this vision, the temple stands for your inner state of awareness. The court outside—your Gentile thoughts, the restless appearances—has permission to populate the scene for a season. The forty-two months is not a calendar but a rhythm of testing by which you are invited to stop measuring the world and attend to the inner city. The holy city is not a place apart, but the I AM state you inhabit—the sovereign ground of consciousness. When you claim the I AM, you do not let outer conditions dictate reality; you walk in the inner temple while the Gentile crowd passes by. The instruction to leave the outer court is a directive to withdraw attention from appearances and recognize that the inner temple remains untouched by time and opinion. The outer world may move, but the inner city remains your true domain. The shift occurs within: you retrace to the inner kingdom and let imagination govern experience rather than circumstance.
