Thresholds of Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's frame, the story is a confession of inner state. Dagon is the image you have allowed to govern your life; the threshold is the moment you draw a line between reverence for the image and the sovereignty of your I AM. When the house of Dagon is emptied of its habitual power, it is because your consciousness has turned inward and claimed authority. The physical symbol disappears in your inner drama because you have chosen to identify with awareness rather than with form. The priests' refusal to step on the threshold is the inner decision not to entertain the old belief that power lies outside; it is the readiness to stand in the light of the I AM, which creates reality. If you imagine yourself as the creator and maintainer of your world, you will find that what you feared or worshiped external to you yields to your inner decree. The threshold becomes a sign that you cross from fear to faith, from images to the sole reality of consciousness.
