Inner Calf Acknowledged and Reclaimed

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, Deuteronomy 9:16 is the moment of awakening within consciousness. The molten calf is not a distant idol but a fixed image your mind clings to when you forget the I AM. You 'sinned' when you trusted that image rather than the command of the LORD within; you turned quickly off the inner path you know by intuition. In this Neville framework, the world you call 'out there' demonstrates the states of consciousness you have entertained. The remedy is simple: recognize the idol as a mistaken self-image and return your allegiance to the I AM, the abiding awareness always present. Then revise the memory by declaring, 'I am the I AM here; no other god exists in my experience.' Feel the reality of that alignment and picture the former calf dissolving into light, leaving you on the true way you already know. The moment you do this, the outward scene shifts because you have changed the inner posture.
