Inner War, Outer Kingship

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line Asa and Baasha are not merely men at war; they are two states of consciousness contending for the throne of your awareness. Asa the Judah king may represent trust, righteousness, and a God aware life that seeks justice; Baasha the Israel king embodies domination, fear, and the impulse to seize power through outward weapons. The days of their war signify the endless memory of conflict that your mind reenacts as you identify with one aspect over the other. Neville would say that God is not a history outside you, but the I AM within the unchanging awareness that could end the feud the moment you claim it as your single sovereign state. When you imagine yourself as the one king ruling with justice and mercy, you disarm Baasha's claim to the throne. The moment you accept the idea that your perception alone creates the world, the war recedes because you no longer feed the rival image with belief. The kingdom you serve is the kingdom of your own consciousness.
