Inner Worship vs Idolatry

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos is not condemning ceremony; he is waking you to the inner truth: every act you call worship is powered by the state you hold in consciousness. The wilderness sanctuary you boast of is but the theatre of your own imagination. When you offer sacrifices, you are testing the reality of your faith, but you still bear the tabernacle of Molech and Chiun—images you have fashioned as gods in your mind. The God you seek is not outside; He is the I AM within, the awareness that witnesses and creates. If you would see your desires appear in form, you must change the dream you keep within. Do not curse the ritual; rewrite the movie of your life by assuming the quality you desire as already true. Feel the courage, peace, or health as if it now fills you, and stop identifying with the lack you have known. The inner image, lived with fidelity, dissolves the idols and makes the outer world conform to your inner covenant. So return to the temple of your own being and worship there, in the awareness that you already are.
