Solomon's Inner Idols Revealed

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's cinema of the mind, the LORD is the I AM, the steady ruler of every day. Solomon’s act of turning toward Ashtoreth and Milcom is not about geography; it is the mind's drift toward substitutes when its imagination forgets the one state of consciousness that rules all. The Ashtoreth deity and Milcom are symbolic 'gods'—desires, attachments, and fears that pretend to govern life while the true governor is within. When you identify with these rival powers, you live as if there are two minds in control, and your actions echo a divided will. But the story invites you to revise: return your attention to the inner LORD, to the I AM, and rest in the certainty that you already are complete. By assuming the state of unity, you dissolve idols, and your outer behavior begins to align with David’s faithful heart—fully after the LORD in awareness, not partially. Practice is explicit: imagine yourself ruling from the I AM, and observe how the world rearranges itself to reflect that interior sovereignty.
