Feast of Idols, Inner Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the altar and feast are not places in time but states of mind. Aaron's act of proclaiming a feast to the LORD is a ritual of attention—a decision to couple devotion with outer ceremony. The people’s morning rising to offer and their later reveling—eating, drinking, playing—reveal a shift in consciousness where energy is poured into form rather than into the I AM that animates form. In this light, the drama is not about a distant event but about what you are assuming about God and yourself. If you interpret the scene as evidence that devotion can be merely ceremonial, you are modeling a split between belief and being. You are always already the I AM, and every altar you set or feast you announce either aligns with that truth or persists in ignoring it. To turn the inner scene toward harmony, choose a new assumption that the I AM is present now, and feel that presence as your only measure of reality. When your inner state aligns with the I AM, the outward feast dissolves into simple, sacred acknowledgement.
