Shadowed High Places Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Your scriptural scene is not about distant hills, but about the interior hills of your mind where you have worshiped shadows as if they were real gods. When you believe the shadow thereof is good, you place your trust in images, rituals, and external symbols to secure love, safety, and worth. The verse’s warning—your daughters and spouses entering whoredom and adultery—becomes a vivid metaphor: when desire is directed to outward mountains, inner loyalties fracture and intimate life follows the same pattern. To reinterpret, awake to the I AM within as the sole source of being; stop searching for gods outside and refuse to treat a shadow as reality. The true sacrifice is the relinquishment of the old belief system and its shadowy comforts; imagine yourself as already whole, here and now, the unchanging presence within. In this turning, your world rearranges to mirror your inner state: fidelity, beauty, and harmony spring forth when you assume that you are the living God in expression, not the worshipper of mere shadows.
