Inner Idols, True Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, these names are not far-off peoples but inner dispositions your mind has cultivated. Succothbenoth, Nergal, and Ashima are not exterior statues; they are habitual images your imagination has fixed as power over your life. When you identify with fear, craving, or need for control, you are worshiping pictures instead of the living I AM that animates all. The text thus points to a spiritual economy: the moment you attach to forms you deny the creator within. Remember, God is the I AM — the constant awareness that makes possible every thought, feeling, and event. By turning away from these inward idols and returning to the I AM, you restore order in consciousness and permit true worship to arise. Imagination creates reality, so you can revise any idol by assuming the state you desire as already present. In the inner cinema, declare, I am the Lord of this mind; I govern every image I entertain. Let the awareness within dissolve the idols and reveal the living God behind all appearances.
