Awakening From Inner Idolatry

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM lens, Hosea 4:17–19 reveals a state-bound allegiance: Ephraim clinging to idols, drinking sour, and chasing old appetites. The line 'let him alone' is not punitive; it signals that you must withdraw your attention from the counterfeit and attend to the living Presence within. In Neville's practice, places are inner dispositions and events are inner movements. The wind binding her wings is the inertia of habit, fear, and the belief that life must be defined by outward rituals. When you stop worshipping an image, you starve it and free your true Self. The moment you revise your assumption—affirming that I AM is the only worshipper of your life—you dissolve the power of the idol. The sacrifices lose their wind; the currency of shame evaporates because your consciousness now attends to the I AM rather than to a false ruler. You do not chase idols; you awaken to the fact that God is within you, guiding all acts. Your inner alignment becomes the visible life, free from the old cycles of 'whoredom' and reputation, into a single, radiant devotion.
