Idol Shepherd Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the idol shepherd is the part that worships images of power—an ego image that leaves your inner flock unguarded. The sword on his arm and over his eye marks the tools of action and sight that go dry and dark when you believe in something apart from the I AM. This is not punitive outside judgment but a shift in consciousness: clinging to a persona deprives your inner being of fuel, and your felt sense of power fades until you revise. The prophet’s warning becomes a practical invitation: stop dodging responsibility by idol worship and turn to the reality you are, the I AM that breathes, sees, and acts through you. When you assume the feeling of being led by the one awareness that fills all, the idol is dissolved, and the arm and eye are restored to service. The flock is your state of consciousness; the shepherd is your inner I AM. By returning to that center, you reclaim true authority and clarity.
