Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that this text speaks not of geography but of inner dominion. The king's region on this side of the river is the landscape of your consciousness where you refuse limitation and accept fullness. Peace on all sides is the natural atmosphere of a mind that believes it is the I AM, the presence that never forsakes you. When you feel that every state of fear, lack, or scarcity has been banished to the other shore, you begin to dwell safely 'all the days' of your Solomonic awareness. The vine and fig tree symbolize the settled comforts you allow into your interior life—the places you rest, receive, and enjoy without worry. The directive is simple: assume you reign, envision your inner domain with clarity, and permit the feeling-tone of safety to enter every moment. Your present experience is the outer form of an inner decision: you are king, and peace and provision follow.
