Inner Altar of the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

All places are states of consciousness; the land you call yours is the texture of your inner disposition. The instruction not to build beside the LORD's altar is a guide to keep your inner altar central in your imagination. When Achan’s trespass produced collective wrath, Neville would say the fault lies not in a distant law but in a misalignment within your own I AM. If you harbor a hidden accursed thing—a belief, fear, or desire separated from the one central altar—your whole mental camp feels the consequence. The cure is simple: return wholly to the I AM, imagine the altar of the LORD established in your heart, and make every thought, feeling, and choice an offering to that altar. The two altars become one when you live from the inside out, knowing you are the I AM, and therefore the world you inhabit is born of that unity.
