Inner Warnings from 1 Corinthians 10:6-11

Neville's Inner Vision

These stories are not distant history but inner movements of your own consciousness. Lust after evil things is the mind’s habit of chasing fleeting pleasures when the I AM within remains unacknowledged. Idolatry arises whenever you give precedence to forms, opinions, or sensations as if they could stand where God lives. The line about sitting down to eat and rising to play becomes a symbol of indulging appetite and then applauding its primacy in your life. To commit fornication, to tempt Christ, or to murmur are all expressions of longing to separate your felt reality from the one Source; they invite storms in your inner weather and outward trouble as if life could be controlled apart from the inner state. Yet the text says these things happened for our ensample, written for our admonition now. The invitation is to reverse the pattern: assume the state of your true being, the I AM, and allow that inner reality to reform your outer world. When you live as the one Life within, the ends of the world arrive not as threat but as confirmation of your choice.
