High Places Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the page speaks of incense and high places, but in my teaching the high place is the throne of your I AM—your conscious awareness. When you imagine incense burning in every high place, you are revealing how your mind seeks power from forms outside itself. The 'heathen' you carry away is not a foreign people but a state of consciousness that forgets its true nature. The anger described is the friction that arises when you forget you are the source of your world and mistake symbols for reality. The true worship is not external ritual but the disciplined attention that remains in the presence of I AM, seeing through appearances. If you accept that you are the source of every scene you experience, the urge to lean on idols dissolves. Your temple becomes inner, and the outer rituals reveal nothing but shadows passing before your light. Rest in the conviction that awareness itself is sufficient, and you awaken from the dream of separation.
