Cleansed by the I AM Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the line not as distant judgment but as a revelation of your current inner state. Idolatry here stands for any fixation that has defined you apart from the I AM within. The cleansing promised is the withdrawal of attention from those fixed images and a turning toward the one Life that animates you. When Ezekiel says, I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, it is the invitation of consciousness to reclaim every inner room—no dwelling place remains loyal to fear, guilt, or separation. The final clause, so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, is the inner law of correspondence: your awareness and your identity coalesce into one I AM. You are not saved by external reform alone; you are rearranged in consciousness so that partnership with the divine is your palpable experience. Practice: assume you already belong to the I AM; dwell in the feeling of sincere purification; let the old attachments recede as you stand in the truth of your unity with God.
