The Inner Altar Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, Israel after the flesh is the mind clinging to appearances; the altar is within. To eat of the sacrifices is to participate in the altar of an idol only if you consent to the belief that life is divided between sacred rites and a personal self. Idols are not real things; they are projections of belief. The things Gentiles sacrifice to are devils—a personifying of fear, craving, social validation. Your true life is the I AM, the one presence that feels itself as God in expression. When you accept fellowship with devils by giving your attention to fear or lack, you are feeding a counterfeit altar. The cure, in Neville’s sense, is to turn attention away from the outward symbol and fix your awareness on the inner altar, the I AM that remains unshaken by appearances. By re-scripting the inner story and feeling the truth of unity, you can reverse the ‘sacrifices’ into offerings to the living God within. In that inward consent, the power of the idol dissolves, and your life follows the rhythm of the one altar.
