Hollow Houses of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the eye of the I AM, Micah's line shows how the outward world kneels to appearances and pretenses. Moreshethgath and Achzib symbolize states of mind that crave external support or gift-giving as proof of security, yet the 'kings of Israel' are the inner authorities—your conscious attention and vital conviction. When you lavish your awareness on a place or position that is merely a lie, you consent to its reality and bind it to your life. Neville often teaches that God is within, and imagination is the instrument that makes or unmakes reality. Here, the apparent solidity of your circumstances is challenged by the claim that it is not the outer scene but your inner king who governs. To dissolve the lie, assume a new state of consciousness: feel the truth of your own I AM reigning over every scene, and stop feeding the hollow house with belief. The moment you revise the scene inwardly, the outer pattern loses its charge and truth asserts itself.
