Solomon's Inner Idolatry

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s turning to Ashtoreth and Milcom is not about ancient geography but about states of consciousness. When a ruler of wisdom leans on outward symbols—the goddess of the Zidonians, the abomination of the Ammonites—he chooses to trust formations over the living I AM within. In this reading, idolatry is a habit of mind, a belief that images and rituals can define reality while consciousness forgets its own power to create. You may have moments when attachments to forms—ceremonies, reputations, or familiar practices—seem to govern your life. Neville would remind you that imagination creates reality, and the I AM is the constant, inner sovereign. Therefore acknowledge these inner idols as projections of fear or desire, and turn your attention back to the indwelling presence. Make a deliberate decision to align with the I AM, to dwell in the feeling of true worship as your inner truth, not the pageantry of outward signs. In that inner shift, the outer scene loses its grip and the heart returns to peace.
