The Idol Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Idol worship here is not about stone but a state you have accepted as real. The people of 2 Kings 17:12 served idols because they believed another power could dictate their fate. In the Neville reading, the LORD is your I AM—awareness that never sleeps, never requires an idol. When you entertain a belief with emotional assent—fear, greed, or pride—you are feeding a god you have made. That god orders your responses and shapes your circumstances as if the prohibition were forgotten. Yet the inner gospel remains: you are the one who imagines, and imagination creates. If you would turn from idol-worship, you must withdraw attention from the idol and reaffirm the true king within: I AM, the steady presence that animates all. Revise your scene by assuming your desired reality, and feel it real until the old belief dissolves into mere memory. This is spiritual obedience not to external laws but to the knowing of your own consciousness.
