Altars Of The I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard’s lens, this scene is a map of inner psychology. The external altar-building is but a mirror of a persistent pattern in consciousness: we seek to alter outcomes by ritual, not by awakening. Balak’s plan mirrors the common urge to place conditions on the divine I AM, yet the power rests not in the number of altars or offerings but in the state behind them. When you align with the I AM within, you enter covenant; the imagined curse cannot take hold. The seven altars symbolize seven facets of conscious attention you can claim: gratitude, faith, persistence, forgiveness, expectation, surrender, and thanksgiving. Each is set in the soil of inner awareness, not in stone. Peor and the wasteland Jeshimon become mental landscapes you choose to inhabit, not places that compel fate. The drama resolves as your inner decree takes hold: blessing flows where you privately bless. The prophecy becomes present-tense in the soul that refuses to doubt the I AM, and your life answers in kind with the reality you have already assumed.
