Inner Worship, Outer High Places

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon loved the LORD, walking in David's statutes: a noble confession, yet the narrative notes high places—rituals of worship placed in elevated sites. In the language of inner psychology, the 'place' is a state of consciousness: high places are elevated attitudes of devotion that can distract from the heart's temple. Your mind might feel drawn to spectacular rites while remaining faithful to the inner law. Neville's method teaches that the outer scene merely reflects your inner assumption. So the mystery here is not a condemnation of ritual, but a prompt to unify: let the inner image of obedience and love govern every outward act. If you insist on the I AM within, if you imagine that your heart is the sanctuary and that the statutes you follow are not external commands but living principles in your own consciousness, your worship becomes complete. The high places then become symbols of the elevated capacities of mind—not barriers to God, but stages by which you practice the one truth: you are already the Lord's, and the worship is simply feeling it real inside.
