Betrayal Within the Inner Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's terms, the king represents your sovereign state of awareness—the I AM that stands as king in the inner city of your mind. The ‘great diseases’ signal a fever of mistaken beliefs, a sickness of consciousness born from guilt over righteousness. The servants who conspired are the inner voices and restless habit-patterns that turn against your higher purpose when you attempt to honor truth. Their act of killing him on his bed occurs in your quiet, sleeping assumptions—those little beliefs you do not notice but which undermine your reign. The burial outside the sepulchres of the kings marks the old self’s final end; it is not your true coronation, but the closing of a former order. The named conspirators—Zabad and Jehozabad—are merely foreign elements within, alien influences you must recognize and dissolve. By seeing this as inner economy, you can revise: refuse to yield the throne to fear, and affirm that the I AM remains unremoved and the inner kingdom endures beyond appearances.
