Inner Image Law Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the commandment as a map of your inner geography. A 'graven image' is any fixed picture you dwell upon about yourself or the world—money, status, illness, or another's opinion—something you worship instead of your I AM. The heavens above, the earth beneath, and the waters beneath the earth become symbolic of higher states, ordinary beliefs, and deep subconscious currents. When you bow to that image, you surrender the living awareness that you are the one God in action, and you invite repetition of the very conditions you fear. The 'jealous God' is not anger but the demand that nothing in consciousness compete with the ruling presence of I AM. If you cling to a picture you hate—poverty, failure, imperfection—you propagate ancestral patterns into your present. But 'mercy unto thousands' comes to those who love the law and keep the commandments by living from the assumed truth of your divine nature. If you return to the felt sense of I AM and practice imagining the good as already done, the outer world will follow the inner decree.
