Crowning The Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater of consciousness, Rehoboam’s act to appoint Abijah chief is the mind deciding to crown a state with authority. Abijah is not merely a person but a quality you choose to honor as ruler—wisdom, discernment, steadiness, the sovereignty of I AM. The phrase 'for he thought to make him king' exposes the motive behind sovereignty: the belief that power comes from an outer act of naming. Neville teaches that every outward appointment mirrors an inner kingdom already established. When you identify with the I AM as the ruler, you no longer seek validation from others; you declare, here and now, that the inner state you require already reigns. Therefore the external arrangement—who sits on the throne in your affairs—is simply the echo of your inner decree. If you stumble into pride or control needs, observe the movement as a cue to return to silent awareness, where true power resides. The inner king is not a person among brothers but a consciousness that can be crowned in the present moment.
