Worship Within: Idols Confounded

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 97:7 speaks not of dead images but of the inner drama of consciousness. The graven images are fixed pictures in the mind—fears, desires, the need for approval—that pretend to govern you. To serve them is to be confounded by their shifting shadows. 'Worship him, all ye gods' becomes a directive to unite the many aspects of self under the one Presence you call the I AM. The I AM is your awareness, not a faraway claimant; when you claim it as the sovereign, the rival inner gods yield, the illusion of power dissolves, and you touch the underlying reality you have always imagined. The call to 'confound' the idols is a call to revision: abandon dependence on outward symbols and cultivate the feeling of the wish fulfilled as your living present. Imagination creates reality; therefore, dwell in the end and let inner alignment do the work, until the world outside reflects the harmony you have already assumed within.
