Inner Wall Sacrifice

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, this scene is not about history but consciousness. The 'eldest son' represents a first-born state of awareness—the leadership of the mind—that is offered to the idol of fear and power on the wall of human calculation. The 'wall' marks a boundary where imagination meets the outer world; the act of sacrifice is the mind's attempt to appease a god outside the I AM rather than turn inward to the one I AM that animates all. When indignation arises in Israel, it signals inner resistance to worship that does not honor true substance. The departure to their land signifies returning the attention to a settled, grounded awareness—the place where true worship happens. In Neville's terms, the outer event reveals an inner move: the ego's attempt to appease idols yields upheaval; the fix is not to condemn but to revise, to realize that the power making all things is the I AM, not a wall, not a burning rite. By shifting belief to the inner king, one can dissolve the need for human sacrifice and re-situate the self in its rightful kingdom.
