Inner Idols, I AM Awake

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the image in the verse as your own mind's outward projection. The gold and silver are not 'things' out there but thoughts you have weighed and trusted until they become your god. When you cry to the idol, you answer your own question; you seek salvation from a token you have believed to possess power. Yet the I AM, the true you, never moves with the idol; it is the consciousness that stands, and it can be cried to only by its own making. The people fall down because they have identified with a belief rather than the Self. To see through it, turn your attention from the statue to the knower within. Assume that you are the I AM here and now, and that this awareness is the source of all action. In that state, the idol loses its authority because you no longer invest it with power. The idol cannot save because it is a picture of a mind divided from God; your job is to awaken the one who can.
