None Before the I AM: Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Deuteronomy 5:7 as a law of the psyche: there is a single Presence—the I AM—whose throne is your awareness. The 'gods' before me are not distant idols but states of mind that pretend to hold real power: fear, lust, need for approval, or a fixation on circumstance. When you entertain any of these as more real than your inner state, you tilt the balance and invite a life shaped by their likeness. The command to have no other gods is a reminder to keep your imagination anchored in the one Presence. In Neville's terms, God is not out there but within, the living I within you who perceives, moves, and creates. Your world is a mirror of your inner conviction. If you are anxious, revise: 'I am the I AM; this fear is only a passing appearance; the one Presence remains.' When you feel this shift, you are practicing true worship: loyalty to the inner cause, not to external appearances. Gradually, your life will align with the feeling of that single sovereign consciousness.
