From Little Baal to Much Service

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Baal here is a symbol rather than a god outside you; Baal represents an image your mind has blessed with attention. Ahab and Baal stand for states of consciousness you entertain; Jehu, the disciplined I, gathers the 'people'—your thoughts and beliefs—and proclaims a new allegiance: serve Baal much. The implication is simple: whatever you devote your imagination to will grow. If you limit devotion to a little belief, you receive little; if you claim the I Am as the ruling image and serve it with all your attention, the outer world rearranges to match the inner scene. This is the Neville method: assume the end, feel it present, and let the imagination do the rest. The 'judgment' you fear is only your own inner state calling you to clarity: stop hedging, commit to the image, and you become the very thing you worship. Thus the verse becomes a luminous reminder to elevate your inner worship to sustain your daily reality.
