Inner Judgment and Idolatry

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle the Lord speaks to your inner self. Aholah and Aholibah are not distant cities but two states of your own consciousness, one drawn to novelty and the other to outer security, each worshiping idols of image and habit. The accusation of adultery means the mind has turned from the I AM to lesser supports, feeding its life on substitutes. The line about shedding children to the idols is the image-furnished belief you sacrifice your future to fear or craving, thinking you serve holiness while you serve a thing. Defiling the sanctuary and profaning sabbaths mirrors inner rhythms interrupted by unverified thoughts and compulsive rituals; you hurry to a temple of form while neglecting the living presence within. And when they slain their children to idols, then came to the sanctuary to profane it, you see the self-contradiction: you attempt to worship and condemn at once, profaning your own temple. The invitation is simple: awaken to the I AM as the sole altar. When you judge these inner allegiances and revise them by imagining the indwelling God as your realized governor, judgment becomes purification and holiness returns to your mind.
