Inner Worship and High Places

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this verse as a mirror of your own inner life. The 'high places' are not distant shrines but stubborn patterns of thought--habits that rise above your present awareness. The people continued to sacrifice there, yet their heart's loyalty was to the LORD their God alone. In Neville's fashion, this reads as a statement about states of consciousness: outward forms can persist while the inner posture of worship remains intact. The essential truth is not the place but the attitude you hold toward the I AM within you. You do not need to abandon tradition; you are invited to revise your sense of self until your inner life aligns with the divine presence. When you imagine the I AM as the sole audience of every meditation, prayer, and action, you release the belief that rituals manufacture reality. The moment you truly worship as awareness, every outward act becomes a natural expression of that inner alignment, and obedience and faithfulness arise as the light-dance of consciousness.
