The Inner Ark in Ashdod

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Ashdod’s fear as the mind clinging to many gods: the ark arrives and reveals the one power truly at work—the I AM. The idol Dagon represents cherished beliefs and conditioned limits; when truth enters, it buckles under the weight of pure awareness. The ‘hand of God’ that is said to be sore upon them is the inner pressure of consciousness shifting, compelling a revision of what is worshipped. In Neville’s practice, you are invited to assume the state that the ark already dwells within you, to revise your sense of self from separate observer to the living I AM. As you dwell there, the old idol loses its grip and begins to topple in your imagination, and your outward life will begin to reflect this inner alignment. The passage teaches that true worship is alignment with a single, all-encompassing power inside; nothing external can prevail against your inner truth once you know it as your own awareness. Therefore the ark does not leave you; you release the idol by recognizing your own unity with God.
