19And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.

2 Chronicles 34:19

Biblical Context

The verse shows the king reacting emotionally to the words of the law, tearing his clothes as a sign of profound awareness and distress. It marks an inner shift prompted by the law's authority.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the king stands as a symbol of a state of consciousness wearing the garment of personal will. When the words of the law enter, they awaken the inner order of reality, and the king’s outer garment is torn as a dramatic sign that the old self is yielding to higher truth. This act is not punishment, but a vivid inner repentance—a turning toward the divine pattern you already are. The law acts as a mirror of your conscience, and your feeling state shifts from resistance to surrender, from fear to trust in the I AM that animates all experience. In this framework, God is the unchanging awareness within you, and imagination is the instrument by which that law becomes actuality. The king’s tearing of clothes embodies the inward movement: a sudden release of an old self-concept, making room for the new form of being the law implies and the I AM asserts.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, 'The law is my inner directive.' Visualize shedding the old robe of ego and feel yourself clothed anew by the I AM, aligned with the law's command.
