In this chapter of the month, Joel talks about how every faith has a holy place in which they worship. He describes what worship was like in a Hebrew temple or tabernacle with its three parts: “the outer court; the holy place; and the Holy of Holies.”  Then, through meditation, he leads us to begin understanding the spiritual significance of these parts. How we find in meditation a gradual, yet distinct, process of leaving off whatever acts as a barrier to communion with the divine. “We cannot come into the presence of God weighted down by our burdens.” This is a beautiful and clear “map” of the spiritual path where we make our way to the Holy of Holies within our own being.
