Adyton

The innermost, forbidden chamber of a Greek temple — at Delphi the underground room from which the Pythia prophesied. Esoterically the 'inner room' of the Gospel, the tabernacle of the soul, entered when the aura is sealed from all outer happening.

Greek adyton — 'not to be entered,' from a- (not) + dyein (to enter).
