# 23 Meeting the inner temple

[Pryr-1.2-23] Thirdly, this Pearl of Eternity is the Church, or the Temple of God within You.  This is the consecrated Place of Divine Worship, where alone you can worship God in Spirit, & Truth.

In Spirit, because it is your Spirit is that alone in You, and it is that which can unite, and cleave unto God, and so receive the Workings of his Divine Spirit in You. In Truth, because of this Adoration in Spirit, Truth and Reality, of which all outward Forms and Rites, & instituted by God, are but a Figure of Time, this Worship is Eternal. So accustom yourself to the Holy Service of this inward Temple.

In the midst of it is the Fountain of Living Water, of which drink, and live forever. There the Mysteries of your Redemption are celebrated, or rather they opened & shown to you, in Life and Power.

There the Supper of the Lamb is kept; the Bread that came down from Heaven, that gives Life to the World, & is your true Nourishment: for all is done, and known in real Experience, in the living Sensibility of the Work of God on the Soul.

There the Birth, the Life, the Sufferings, the Death, the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ, are not merely remembered, but found, as the real States of your Soul, which has followed Christ in its Regeneration.

Then, once you are well-grounded in this inward Worship, you will have learnt to live with God out of Time, out of Place, & every Day will be Sunday, and wherever you go, you will have a Priest, a Church, and an Altar with You, and never will you miss the touch of Our Lord.

For it is only when God has all that He should have of your Heart, after you have renounced your  Will, Your Many Judgments, You Wayward Tempers and the Inclinations of your old Man (Old Man = Old Nick, Satan, Devil, the Evil One),  only then will  you wholly be given up to the Obedience of the Light and Spirit of God within You, and only then will His  Will  & only his Will and that for you  to Love & be Wise  in his Wisdom, then it is can it be that that every Thing you do is as a song of Praise (Prayers), and the common Business of your Life will be to be as conforming to God's Will on Earth, as Angels do in Heaven.
