Inner Reform, Outer High Places

Neville's Inner Vision

2 Kings 12:3 offers a precise mirror: outward reform is not inner renewal. The high places—inner habits, beliefs, attachments—were not taken away, and the people continued to sacrifice there. In Neville's language, these are states of consciousness clinging to illusion: the sense that God is reached by a rite, a place, or a ritual, rather than by the I AM that I am. The verse invites you to look within and acknowledge that true worship is the alignment of every thought, feeling, and image with the one Presence within. If you keep the high places, you keep a split: you worship in one room while fearing in another. The remedy is not whitewashing the temple but reconstituting it from within, as you persist in the explicit truth that God is within, now. The key is a revision in consciousness: declare that the temple is the I AM, and permit the old altars to collapse in your imagination as you stay with this truth. You are already complete; reform your inner state and the outer signs will follow.
