The Inner Crown Endures

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, Amaziah is not merely a royal figure but your inner king—the throne of your awareness. The death of Joash marks the passing of a former self, a costume that no longer fits the current reign. Yet Amaziah lives fifteen years, a long, steady period of presence; this is the image of a sustained state of consciousness that remains when the old idea has fallen away. Neville teaches that God is the I AM, the living awareness behind all scenes. Therefore, your outer chronology mirrors your inner procession: you can linger in a renewed sense of kingship for a generous time, even after the previous ruling idea has expired. Do not seek to resurrect the old king; let him die and dwell in the certainty that your essential self remains on the throne. The 15 years symbolize a period of steady, fruitful expression arising from a clarified condition of being. If you can imagine and feel this uninterrupted reign now, you are living the verse; your imagination makes the life that persists beyond apparent death.
