Inner Idol Breakthrough

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, this scene is a parable of the mind: Baal worship stands for a belief system that diverts attention from the I AM within. The house of Baal is a mental stronghold—habits of fear, pride, or dependency that claim authority over your awareness. When the people tear it down and smash its altars, they are not acting on an external king but on inner conviction: a decision to dismantle the idol of separation and to dethrone the inner priest who keeps singing the old hymn of limitation. The slaying of Mattan the priest before the altars symbolizes silencing the habitual inner voice that consecrates false worship. By dislodging this inner counterfeit, the true I AM—awareness—can stand free as the sole ruler of consciousness. The action is not historical violence but a shift of consciousness: you choose, in imagination, to withdraw belief from idols and to reassert the indivisible oneness of God within your mind. Imagination then becomes the instrument by which the inner kingdom comes to rest in peace.
