Inner Kingship Over Idols

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner kingdom, the king is the I AM—the awareness that presides over all thoughts and images. Maachah, the queen-mother, stands for a dominant heredity of beliefs and attachments that would crown false worship as if it were sacred. When Asa removes Maachah from the throne, he is not punishing a person but releasing a habitual state of mind that equates approval, lineage, or outward custom with truth. The grove idol is a symbol of worship anchored in appearance rather than in the living presence of God within. Destroying the idol and burning it by the Kidron brook is a cleansing of feeling and memory—an emotional washing that flow purges the old condition. The act embodies true worship: a turning away from externals toward the I AM, the consciousness that never forsakes you. Your task is to practice ruling your own inner realm, refusing to let ancestral idols dictate your present experience, and allowing the cleansing stream of awareness to dissolve them into nothingness.
