Inner Temple of Persistent Sins

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the verse as a map of your own consciousness. The children of Israel are not distant people but states of mind that have inherited Jeroboam’s pattern—the habit of turning to external symbols instead of the inward altar. When you walk in all the sins Jeroboam did, it means you repeat a false worship because the inner conviction has not yet shifted. Here the outer history echoes the inner movement: a mind that refuses to revise its image of God, a soul clinging to ritual and outward form as if they could govern reality. The problem is not punishment but ignorance of the I AM who dwells within. The call is to awaken: to see that the true temple is the consciousness you entertain, and worship is alignment with that consciousness, not adherence to external rites. If you interpret the scene as present law for your life, you release the old pattern and invite a new, inner order where true worship reigns and identity rests in the I AM rather than in Jeroboam’s symbols.
