The Inner Temple by Rev. Dr. David Ault
Affirmation: I answer the call to come home to my divine self.
René Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz was a passionate and controversial Egyptologist and mystic. In his tome “The Temple of Man,” he writes of the impeccable blending of mathematics, symbolism and spirituality uncovered through his years of archaeological research and findings on the temples of ancient Egypt.
De Lubicz wrote, “If someday it is given to you to pass into the inner temple, you must leave no enemies behind.” Is his inner temple a literal structure or something else?
Consider the inner temple he references as the sacred heart. It is the portal of boundless and compassionate love. And if someday we encounter the opportunity to reawaken and experience the healing blend of our human state with this mystical awareness, then we must not exclude anyone from our earnest offerings of gratitude. In this temple, spiritual alchemy occurs.
That which is dark becomes light. In this temple no one is left with the label of enemy. As “The Science of Mind” describes, all thoughts of anything or anyone as the enemy “are outside are the law and cannot be taken into the heavenly consciousness.”
Within the sincere examinations of our life there is a healing opportunity to re-see all personalities and events in the light of the Spirit. This inner temple/sacred heart is our true home.
Ironically, we long for home, yet we fear and resist what its unconditional power offers. This resistance reveals the strength of our attachments to our story, identities and beliefs. What might happen if we brought it all into the inner temple?
Quotes
If you observe well, your own heart will answer.
— René Adolphe Schwaller de Lubicz
Any sense of guilt we have, any burden of condemnation we entertain or any mental state that weighs us down hinders us from more fully experiencing the nature of spiritual reality.
— Ernest Holmes, from “Richer Mind”
