Inner Shrine and Self-Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 18:13-14 reads your inner landscape. The 'house of Micah' is the sanctuary within you where beliefs are kept; the ephod, teraphim, and graven image are relics of old attention—images you still worship as if they are authorities outside you. The five men who 'spy out the country' represent a restless mental draft, wandering through Laish seeking confirmation that reality conforms to forms. When they ask 'what ye have to do,' heed this as a decisive invitation to revise your assumption. Do not uproot the symbols with condemnation, but awaken to the awareness that all idols exist only as images in mind and that true order arises when you align with the I AM, the consciousness that is prior to all images. The law and the commandment are not external decrees but inner alignment: let your attention be governed by the realization 'I am that I AM' and allow the inner temple to be sanctified by love, not by ritual. As you shift, the outer forms lose their coercive power and become mere signs of inner truth.
