Birth Of The Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the king is your present state of consciousness—an outward sovereignty that thinks it can control the field of experience by force. The bow drawn at venture is a thought you entertain without surrender to your I AM. It pierces the armor between the joints—the places where your old belief and identity hinge—revealing a vulnerability you prefer not to see. The chariot man, the king’s charioteer, is your persistent awareness—your inner I AM that rides the field of events. When the archer’s arrow wounds the king, the impulse is to call for help, to turn the chariot, to rescue the ego with outward power. Yet the battle rages, and the sun sinks. This is not catastrophe; it is the inner sign that the old self must yield to a larger reality. The king staying in the chariot to the end shows that your awareness remains constant even as a former state passes away. The death at sundown marks the moment you relinquish the throne of separation and allow the Kingdom of God—your true inner ruler—to emerge, quiet, sovereign, present in awareness.
