Abolish Idols Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse speaks of outer collapse as a mirror of inner transformation. When Ezekiel says the cities shall be laid waste and the high places desolate, he is pointing to the habitations of your mind where you entertain images and attachments as if they stood apart from the I AM. The altar of a personal idol you worship in secret—the belief in separation, success, or control—becomes waste, the idol broken, the image cut down. To interpret this as Neville would, see that every outer act of worship is merely the projection of inner states of consciousness. The true worship is not ritual, but the alignment with the I AM within; when you recognize that your awareness is the sole reality, all idols collapse and cease. The command that works be abolished is a summons to stop the manual striving to make reality happen and instead rest in the conviction that imagination and awareness create form. As you revise your inner dispositions, the high places of fear, pride, or scarcity become desolate, and you awaken to the eternal, unchanging presence that you are.
