Inner Split in 2 Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us see the scene as a map of inner states. They proclaimed, 'We fear the LORD,' yet they set up other gods, following the trends of the nations their memory carries. In Neville's language, fear of the LORD is not external ritual but the attentive I AM, the present awareness that governs all you call life. The 'other gods' are habits, images of desire that think to rule you, yet are only echoes in a dream of separation. The verse points to a split consciousness—one foot in true worship, one foot in old appetites. The remedy is not judgment but revision: assume the reality under which both fear and worship are unified as one I AM. Decide now that you are the Lord of your inner kingdom, and feel that sovereignty already established. When you dwell in that single consciousness, the idols fade, and your experience aligns with the truth you have chosen.
