1 Kings 12:1

Biblical Context

Israel gathered at Shechem to crown Rehoboam as king; the verse records the people’s assembly for royal authority.

Neville's Inner Vision

Rehoboam’s journey to Shechem is spoken as a political event, yet in the Neville way it reveals the inner decision to crown a new state of awareness. Shechem is the seat of decision within your mind, and all Israel—the diverse thoughts, loyalties, and desires—come to affirm a single ruler: your I AM, the awareness that experiences are formed by imagination. When the inner assembly arrives, it means your consciousness is ready to acknowledge a sovereign state, not a dependent one. The “king” is not a man but the dominant state of consciousness you choose to inhabit. The crowd’s convergence indicates that every part of your being—memory, belief, longing, will—has gathered to consent to this sovereignty. The covenant loyalty speaks to staying faithful to the I AM and to the imagined truth you accept as real. When you assume this inner kingship, the outer conditions begin to reflect that certainty. Imagination, rightly held, enforces alignment: you see with inner sight what you accept in feeling, and reality begins to rearrange itself to fit the crowned state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, step onto the inner throne, and declare 'I AM king now' while feeling all inner states bow to your certainty; repeat until the felt reality follows.
