Baal Within Mind Sacrifices

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville’s vantage, the high places and offerings are not distant mountains but states of consciousness you have built in your own mind. Baal stands for a habit of worshiping fear, drive, or scarcity, a ritual of the mind that seems to promise security yet drains life. The cry, 'which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind,' is a revelation: the inner self (God, the I AM) does not assent to such belief. To enter salvation, you must forsake the interiorized idol of limitation and recognize that you have the power to revise your whole worship by changing your assumptions. When you identify a belief as an idol—any pattern you sacrifice your joy to—you can replace it with a truer image formed by I AM awareness. The shift is not outward obedience but inward alignment: imagine and feel the new allegiance to life in which there is nothing but fulfillment and peace. In that moment, the 'burnt offerings' lose their power over you and your world rearranges to reflect your revised sense of self.
