Clearing Inner Altars

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the land Asa rules as the map of your own mind. When he tears down the altars of strange gods, the high places, the bases of idolatry, and cuts down the groves, he is showing how you may cleanse the inner landscape. The 'gods' are beliefs you have fed with attention; the high places are prideful attitudes that lift themselves above your awareness; the images and groves are recurring thoughts that pretend to govern you. When you stop energizing those idols, you make room for the true worship to reign. The act is not mere history but a decision in consciousness: you choose to align with the God within, to be obedient to the inner I AM. The purification occurs as you revise your assumptions, feel the reality of your oneness with the I AM, and let the inner image of God replace every counterfeit image. Then your outer life reflects that inner holiness and separation from false worship.
