The Inner House in Shinar

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's psychology, 'the land of Shinar' is the theatre of appearances where you seem to be separated from God. The command to build a house is an instruction to form a fixed state of consciousness in imagination. When you choose a true worship—an inner alignment with I AM rather than images—this inner sanctuary takes form and, like a building erected on its own base, it becomes the governing reality of your life. The base is not a mere platform but your unwavering assumption about who you are and what is possible. The moment you decide that the house already stands, you are no longer subject to outer events; the external scene must conform to the inner structure you have planted. Thus idolatry and false worship fade as you pour attention into the true sanctuary, the awareness that you are the I AM and the builder of your world. Practice by revising your sense of self to reflect the state you desire until it feels natural and persistent. Your life will align with that inner edifice, until the city of your experience rests on its own basis.
