Purging the Inner Altar

Neville's Inner Vision

All cleansing of the world begins in consciousness. When Isaiah speaks of the iniquity of Jacob, he is describing the moment you cease worshiping the images your own mind creates and return your attention to the I AM within. The “measured” process is not punishment but a shift of awareness until the stormy wind of belief loses its force. In your imagination, you may argue with the wind, you may resist it, and then you let it pass, for the wind is only a projection of your thinking. The stones of the altar become chalk in your mind when you stop feeding fixed forms; as you beat them apart, you dissolve the groves and images—those old delusions—that would stand in the way of living truth. The effect is a new state of consciousness in which true worship arises as the I AM is recognized as your real, undeniable presence. When this mind-altering correction takes place, the fruit is not moral scruple alone but a released life, where you inhabit the activity of God within.
