Beth-Shemesh Inner Victory

Neville's Inner Vision

Beth-shemesh marks the inner boundary where two states of consciousness meet. Joash is the rising king inside you—the I AM taking rightful authority—while Amaziah is the older self still clinging to control. When they gaze at one another, the narrative shows who rules by virtue of awareness, not by outward force. Judah's defeat is the relinquishment of the old self, a retreat into the tents of habit, as the higher self asserts its vision. In Neville's terms, God is not a distant power but the I AM present in you, and imagination is the instrument by which you reign. Therefore the fleeing is the mind's unwinding from fear when you refuse to identify with limitation. Practice the assumption that the higher self has already overcome the lower, and feel the truth in your chest as if it were real now. The result is not merely victory in a battle, but the clear alignment of your inner kingdom with the reality you inhabit.
