Inner Glory, Divine Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

Herod in this scene is not a man alone; he is a state of consciousness that seeks honor from the crowd rather than from the I AM within. The 'angel of the Lord' is the inner law of awareness, correcting a mind that has forgotten its source. When you refuse to give God the glory, you feed an ego that must be humbled in order to awaken. The instant the inner light strikes that proud thought, the old pattern begins to crumble, as if worms were eating away the shell of a form that has forgotten its true substance. The death described is the natural end of a life lived in separation from God, not a punishment coming from without. To reverse it, refuse the projection and revise the assumption: I am the glory of God in form. I acknowledge the I AM within as the source and end of all praise. In that recognition, the pride dissolves, and you rise into true worship—the alignment of life with the living presence you truly are.
