Noon Power and Inner Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

At noon the sun stands for bright consciousness, yet Benhadad’s drunkenness and his thirty-two kings reveal a leadership built on externals—pavilions, feasts, and company—rather than inner truth. In Neville’s psychology, these are states of mind, not persons: power becomes a procession of images that fade when attention is unsettled. The verse invites you to witness that outward display cannot secure victory; the true sovereign is the I AM within, the unwavering awareness that remains when the scene grows loud. The 'kingdom of God' is not a geography but the inner rule of consciousness you claim by imagination. When you stop leasing your throne to intoxicated images and assume the feeling of being the I AM, your reality rearranges itself to reflect that inner sovereignty. Your external world becomes coherent with your inner conviction, not the other way around.
