Inner Idolatry and The I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard mood, the verse speaks to states of consciousness rather than geography. The “lightness of her whoredom” signals a laxness of mind that treats external props—money, status, rituals—as realities. The land you inhabit is your inner field of experience; when you worship stones and stocks, you defile that field, for you mistake surface forms for the living God within. The true worship is the rediscovery that the I AM is the only reality and that all outward forms are mere imagery projected by consciousness. By acknowledging that you are the I AM, you revise the inner state and allow the world to reorganize around that truth. Idolatry fades as holiness returns—not by eradicating things, but by ceasing to grant them ultimate power. Your inner fidelity to the I AM creates a purified inner temple, and the external scene reflects that inward sanctity as you align with the eternal presence within.
