Inner Idolatry Exposed

Neville's Inner Vision

See Ezekiel as a map of states of consciousness. Aholah and Aholibah are two inner kingdoms that dress themselves in washing, eyes painted, ornaments, a stately bed, and a table set with incense and oil, all to win the favor of a distant messenger. That messenger is the inner discernment that confronts your choices; the washing and painting are habits you perform to please your ego, while the table of tokens represents your attachment to comfort and status. The voice of a multitude at ease is the mind’s chorus that seduces you into believing that outward ease equals reality. The Sabeans and their bracelets and crowns are borrowed energies—customs and opinions—that you crown as if they were life. When the question comes, 'Will they now commit whoredoms with her?' it is the inner warning not to merge with these adulterous states, but to stand in your true I AM. The remedy is simple: return to the awareness that the imagination is the cause, and the I AM alone is the source. In that shift, the outer drama loosens its grip, and fidelity to the inner temple remains.
