Inner Idols, Inner I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the text reveals a psychology rather than a geography. The incense, high places, and idols symbolize inner states and beliefs that you are separate from your awareness. When you bow to idols, you imagine external powers controlling you, forgetting you are the I AM, the living consciousness. The urge to perform external rituals marks the birth of an idol of form; the remedy is to re-state within that God is not distant but the I AM within. The 'lords' you worship are mental pictures; by refusing to feed them and returning to inner allegiance, you dissolve the sense of separation and the accompanying anger. To restore true worship, cultivate the continuous sense of a single reality—your consciousness as the center of all appearances. Persisting in this alignment allows old patterns of incense and ritual to fade, and your life to express covenant loyalty through peace, courage, and creative wholeness.
