Inner Idols Provoking the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 14:9 holds a mirror to your inner kingdom. The king’s act of making other gods and molten images symbolizes how you allow counterfeit pictures to govern your mind, provoking the I AM within and casting your awareness behind the illusion of separation. In Neville’s terms, God is the I AM—the eternal awareness you are when you stop identifying with outward symbols. Idolatry is not some distant crime but a current habit of believing images define you, until you forget your true nature. The call here is to awaken from that habit: return to the I AM and treat imagined pictures as states of consciousness you can revise. When you stop bowing to external images and instead acknowledge the inner life you possess, judgment dissolves into a clear seeing of your unity with all that you perceive. The text’s message becomes a practical invitation to wakefulness: replace reliance on images with the knowing of your true self, and experience true worship as inner alignment.
