Inner Priesthood Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a drama of consciousness. The carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim are not relics of history but inner pictures you have accepted as power, security, and authority. Micah’s house is your own mind where these images reside—habits of thinking that tell you a particular role will make you whole. The priest’s answer to go with them, and his heart that gladdens at being a father and priest to a wider tribe, reveals a common error: the mistaking of social status for true benediction. In Neville’s terms, the I AM—your essential awareness—recognizes itself through imagination; yet here imagination serves the idol rather than the living self. The choice between serving one man’s house and a tribe in Israel mirrors the choice between a limited belief and a universal consciousness. When the priest accepts the symbols, consciousness densifies around them, and worship becomes adherence to form. The remedy is a deliberate revision: refuse to equate symbols with power, and reorient your inner priesthood toward the single, expansive crown of awareness. Your imagined act of alignment is the real priesthood that heals.
