Inner Crown: Rewriting Rehoboam

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner man, the king is your state of ruler-ship. The old men are the established habits of wisdom; the young men are the restless impulses of pride. When the I AM, your pure awareness, entertains the decree to 'add thereto'—to burden the life with scorpions—it shows a mind convinced that power is exterior and punitive. The moment you accept such a decree, you project a reality of suffering to others and yourself, because you have identified with the mask of authority rather than the principle of love. The cure is not to apply harsher judgments on others, but to revise the decree from within. Wake up to the truth that you are the sovereign I AM, and that every movement of will is a suggestion to your entire field of mind. Rehoboam's choice demonstrates that the inner state creates the outer climate: harshness becomes policy, weakness becomes fear, order becomes judgment. Your task is to reframe: assume this inner kingship as benevolent, discerning, and just; see the 'yoke' alleviated by wise, compassionate rule. The moment you adopt this inner posture, your outer conditions begin to align with the changed consciousness.
