Inner Worship and Idolatry Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, the verse becomes a lesson about the inner landscape. The \"house of Jeroboam\" symbolizes an entrenched self-image and habitual idolatries—external rites, rituals, and forms that you have accepted as real. The grove in Samaria stands for a fixed inner grove of impressions, a belief that reality depends on outward signs rather than the I AM within. The text suggests that outward reform alone cannot redeem you; inner conviction must be revised. When you acknowledge that the I AM is the true reality and that imagination creates your world, you may relocate your worship from external acts to inner alignment. The old idolatries lose their grip as you insist that consciousness is the creator of all, and you begin to embody a living sense of oneness rather than separation. As you dwell in this revised state, your outer circumstances align with the inner truth you have chosen to inhabit.
