Idols Abolished, Hearts Exalted

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner reading, the day is not a future calendar but a sympathetic state waking in consciousness. The loftiness of man is a claim I hold about myself when I forget the I AM. When I awaken to the truth that I am one with the divine I AM here and now, pride yields and the sense of separation dissolves. The idols spoken of are not carved images but beliefs in power outside myself—money, status, control, approval. As I insist that the LORD alone is exalted in this life, those idol-forms lose their grip; their shadows vanish once I rest in the certainty of my true nature. The abolition is inner cleansing: the moment I revise the thought that I am defined by outer tokens, the ego's pomp falls away and the heart grows quiet. This is not punishment but a return to the original fact of consciousness: God as the I AM is the only reality; my personal self-importance is a dream dissolved in that light. In such a shift, the inner world aligns with divine reality, and outer appearances reflect that reality.
