Within The Queen Of Heaven

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines reveal that the 'queen of heaven' is not a distant idol but a stance of consciousness that seeks outward security. The wood, fire, and cakes symbolize inner faculties stirred into ritual by fear, an attention that builds an altar to what seems to give life. In Neville's terms, worship is not the ceremony but the state of mind behind it; when you identify with that outward altar you forget your true nature as the I AM and invite inner friction that looks like anger. The soul resists such projection, for the I AM never leaves your side; what changes is your assumption. The remedy is simple: affirm that your consciousness is the altar, and imagine that no external offering can define you. Watch the mental images dissolve as you acknowledge that your awareness creates what you call reality. By turning attention away from the imagined gods and toward the indwelling mystery of your Self, you release the need to prove or appease. In that shift, the old ritual loses power and true devotion remains your constant aliveness.
