Inner Chronicles of Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

This text invites you to read the external line as an inner process. The 'book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel' is your own I AM, the steady consciousness that records every move of your inner life. Baasha, with his acts and might, stands for a specific state of identity you have identified with as king—habits of thought, pride, fear, or ambition that seem to rule you. When it says he slept with his fathers, that is the symbolic death of that state, the end of that ruling consciousness. Elah's reign signals the arising of a new inner disposition taking charge. Tirzah, where Baasha was buried, marks the end of the old expression in your memory. The questions 'are they not written in the book?' remind you that the power to shape your life lies in your present awareness. If you long for a different scene, you can revise by enthroning a fresh king—the I AM—on the throne of your mind. Then your outer events will begin to align with that new inner rule.
