Inner Covenant of Leadership

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the inner drama unfolds as a state of consciousness calls forth its own governing body. Jehoiada represents the I AM in action, which, in the seventh year of maturity, refuses to drift. He strengthens himself—an act of inward assumption—so that his attention can stand firm against the currents of doubt. The captains of hundreds are not men, but faculties—memory, reason, will, imagination—whose hundreds of little thoughts are gathered and directed. By taking these captains into covenant with him, the I AM binds its energies to a single purpose, a loyal alignment with truth and obedience. The covenant is not an external treaty but a pledge within the mind that the whole consciousness will act in concert. This is how unity is made: through inner agreement, through faith that each part recognizes the authority of the whole. When you hold this vision, you are starting with the end in mind—that your inner powers are not scattered but assembled under a ruler who is love, discipline, and trust. The inner kingdom responds to such fidelity with coherent, decisive action.
