The Inner Reign Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the text does not condemn a human king, but uses the people's request to reveal a deeper truth: the nation, in its collective consciousness, feels famished for an authority that can be seen and counted. They have not rejected Samuel; they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. In Neville's terms, this is a spiritual diagnosis: the I AM within is the true ruler, and any imagined outer sovereignty is but a projected belief that the inner government has abdicated. When you assent to the belief 'I am ruled by people, circumstances, or conditions,' you are appointing a king in place of the inner Lord. The remedy is to turn attention inward, to assent to the fact that the I AM, the awareness that you are, is the crown of your life. Rehearse that your thoughts, feelings, and choices rise from this inner throne, and the world around you must align to reflect that sovereignty. By assuming the state of the king within, you revise the story you tell about your life and invite harmony as the natural outcome.
