The Inner Hands That Do Not Act

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 115:7 names idols by their organs—hands that do not act, feet that do not move, a throat that cannot utter—to show they are not alive in consciousness. In Neville’s view, idols are states of mind, fixed pictures you mistake for power. They appear to move only when you supply them with attention, but they lack awareness and thus cannot truly act or speak. The real action resides in the I AM—the living sense of 'I' that perceives and creates. When you cling to outward forms, you reinforce delay and keep life trapped in form. Yet movement comes when you align with the inner state, imagining from that state as if your wish already exists, and feeling it as present now. This is true worship: truth and faithfulness in consciousness, a steady, vivid feeling that you are already what you seek. The verse invites you to drop the idol of outward control and rest in the assurance that your inner posture, not the statue, governs outcomes.
