Inner Idolatry and Imagination
Romans 1:18-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul states that God's wrath is revealed against ungodliness for suppressing truth and turning to idols; creation reveals God's power, yet people replace it with images, their imagination grows vain, and their hearts darken.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within every soul lies the obvious awareness of the I AM, the living God within. The scripture speaks not of distant judgments but of your current state of consciousness: when you 'hold the truth in unrighteousness' you cling to a separated, limited picture of life, dimming the inner light. The 'invisible things' of God are not beyond reach; they are the order and power inherent in your own consciousness, discernible by the structure of your inner imagining. If you insist on images—forms of God as distant, or life as lack—you replace the living reality with carved idols, and your heart grows dark, your thoughts become vain, and you feel the so-called wrath as inner tension. The remedy is simple: return to the one unchanging reality—the I AM. Let your imagination be governed by truth, gratitude, and acknowledgment of God as your immediate presence. When you revise every picture that confines life to idol-made forms and affirm the living God within, you awaken to the orderly power that creates and sustains you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in quiet, assume 'I AM' is your present reality; revise any idol-like image about God or yourself and feel the truth as real right now.
