Cities of the Inner Dominion

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s cities are not bricks on a map but states of consciousness you affirm in imagination. The fortifications are the boundaries you maintain in attention, the stores are your reserves of energy, skill, and belief held within awareness. The chariots and horsemen are the rapid, disciplined movements of your attention and action. When you read that he built in Jerusalem and Lebanon, hear it as your inner Jerusalem of wholeness and the Lebanon of lifted vision—the sacred centers you rule from within. The whole land of his dominion becomes the map of your inner territory, the Kingdom of God you govern by feeling and perception rather than external power. The verse invites you to acknowledge you are the king inside, capable of provisioning and extending your inner realm according to your desire. The real action is in your imagining, not in outward conquest. Practice your inner sovereignty by consistently imagining this order: fortify your beliefs, stock your interior resources, and invite the next level of construction in your inner landscape.
