Idols of the Inner Landscape
2 Kings 17:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that people set up images and groves on every high hill and under every green tree.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the inner level, these hills and trees are not places but states of consciousness. The images and groves are the mind’s habitual idols—fixed pictures and attachments we worship as if they possessed power. When you read this, hear that the inner life has scattered attention, turning to many symbols rather than to the one I AM within. Neville taught that reality follows the imagination; therefore such inner idols ensure separation from the living God within. The remedy is not external reform but inner revision: withdraw belief from the symbols and fix your awareness on the I AM, the infinite presence that animates all. Imagine, if only for a moment, that your life is being governed by the I AM and that none of these projected images can alter that truth. By choosing to worship the one presence here and now, you unify the inner landscape and transform how events unfold.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and revise, 'I am the I AM; these images have no power over me.' Feel the oneness of your inner landscape as you rest in the presence of God within.
