Inner Kingship and Favoritism

Neville's Inner Vision

Let this scene be read as an inner allegory. Rehoboam's love for Maachah is not a marriage of persons but an attachment to a particular mental image of sovereignty—the idea that authority follows lineage or number. The eighteen wives and sixty concubines signify the mind's habit of multiplying images to feel secure; power seems to come by crowding the inner room with symbols. Abijah, chosen as chief, represents an assumption that a single image can govern all others. Yet the true king in Neville's sense is the I AM, the everlasting awareness that is unmoved by person or pattern. When you identify with any secondary image as king, you invite conflict and faction within your mind—a divided kingdom. The remedy is simple: assume and feel from the place of the I AM that the inner king already reigns with flawless order. Revise your inner state until these images dissolve into a single, harmonious ruler. In that moment, the outward scene aligns with the inner sovereignty you have claimed, and the Kingdom of God becomes the orderly posture of your own consciousness.
