Idols Or Inner Heavens

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the gods of the nations as inner states of consciousness—habitual patterns of thought that claim control over your world. Psalm 96:5 speaks plainly: all such images are idols, while the LORD, the I AM within you, made the heavens. If you feel surrounded by competing beliefs, you are simply learning that you have power beyond borrowed lights. When you assume the feeling of the I AM as creator, you reverse the order: the 'gods' bow to your awareness, not you to them. Imagination is not for appeasing external ritual but for declaring inner sovereignty. The true worship is steady attention to the one presence of awareness—your unshakable I AM, which fashioned your sky, your stars, your order. Idols dissolve under the simple act of awareness: I am the maker of my heavens, and the power to shape form lives in me, here and now.
