The Inner Kingdom Offer

Neville's Inner Vision

Jezebel’s invitation is a conditioning of the mind, not a decree of destiny. The kingdom of Israel is the state of consciousness you inhabit; the vineyard of Naboth is your sense of abundance, or lack thereof, interpreted as external possession. When she asks, 'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel?', she is exposing the belief that sovereignty is achieved by political maneuver, not by the I AM that is always aware. Your task is to refuse this external script and enter instead the posture of the one who already rules from within. The moment you say, 'I govern the kingdom of my inner life now,' you stop chasing a vineyard and begin feeling the equivalent of it already present in your awareness. The offer to take is a lure of thought promising security through ownership; the true wealth is the realization that you are the thinker who makes the scene. If you revise the scene—see Naboth's vineyard as a symbol of inner fullness you already possess—your attention shifts from lack to abundance. You are not introducing wealth; you are awakening to the kingdom you already are.
