Inner Crown of Popular Will
2 Chronicles 33:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 33 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The people of the land killed all who conspired against Amon. They then made Josiah king in his stead.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read this scene as a map of my inner life. The 'people' are the many states of my awareness; the conspirators against Amon are thoughts that would dethrone my true king. When those thoughts are set aside by the land, space opens for a higher ruler to arise—Josiah, the principle of my I AM, crowned by my recognition. The enthronement by popular will is my inner agreement: I consent to govern by righteousness, justice, and compassion. The Kingdom of God becomes my present ruler, not a distant realm, as I take responsibility for every sensation, memory, impulse. Judgment comes as I observe and release what no longer serves my highest state; accountability becomes a gentle duty. In this way, the outer event is the mirror of my inner reign; I am king in the I AM, and my world follows the crown I affirm within.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively assume you are already seated on the throne of your I AM. Feel the crowd of your thoughts declaring your rule; then imagine the dethroned old self fading away and Josiah rising in your inner sight.
