Inner Altar Cleansing

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner drama, the Baal temple corresponds to a mind enthralled by images and appetites, a habitual worship of separation. The people’s demolition of the Baal altar is your moment of decision to terminate a belief that has ruled as fear or lack. The priest of Baal slain before the altar marks the old identity dissolved by the knowledge that you cannot serve two masters in the same state of consciousness. Jehoiada’s appointment of the Levitical order is your choosing of inner faculties—the awareness, the imagination, the sentiment of gratitude—to serve the one true relation: the LORD within. The burnt offerings, offered with rejoicing and singing, symbolize prayers and appreciations offered in alignment with your inner law, not as grovelling petitions but as the natural praise of a mind that has awakened to its divine domain. The reference to the law of Moses flags a life lived by consistent principle, the inner covenant that your I AM Mind never departs from you. Thus, renewal comes not by external reform alone but by an inner switch of allegiance, from idols to the living presence you already are.
