Inner Vision, True Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the 'they' in Psalm 135:16 are not wooden idols but states of consciousness you have accepted as real. Their mouths that speak are your habitual beliefs about lack, danger, and limitation; their eyes that see are merely surface appearances shaped by memory, not true perception. When you identify with these idols, you experience a kind of inner drought: speech without truth and sight without understanding. The verse invites you to turn from the outer image and awaken the living consciousness that is God—the I AM within—where true sight resides. By assuming the feeling of already being what you desire, by revising the image you hold of yourself, you align with a higher truth and allow your inner vision to lead. Imagination becomes the steady eye that perceives as real, and the inner voice speaks from assurance rather than fear. In this shift, the idol's hollow mouth speaks only what you permit, and its blind gaze dissolves into the clear knowing that you are that which you seek.
