Inner Bricks Of Belief

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 11:3 speaks of a people who said, 'Let us make brick.' In Neville's terms, the city they raise is a symbol of the psyche's construction—beliefs counted as stones and the slime mortar as the emotional glue of fear and aspiration. The 'let us' reveals a state of shared consciousness, the sense that reality must bend to collective imagination. Pride here is the belief that external craft and cooperative effort alone secure lasting security; the idolatry is worship of the results, not the inner interview with the I AM. Neville teaches that such building is always a projection of inner posture. If you imagine you are safe by the strength of bricks, you have substituted self-for-God, and the tower becomes a monument to limitation. The remedy is revision: turn the assumption inward, align with the I AM, and imagine from wholeness rather than lack. When you feel as if it is already done—I AM building through you—the bricks acquire real substance, and the edifice serves truth rather than pride.
