Inner Reign of Solomon

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse is not about a historical tally but a map of your interior kingdom. Solomon’s reign in Jerusalem over Israel is your I AM ruling the throne of your mind—the center where choices are made and the line between outer world and inner insight is drawn. The word 'forty years' signifies fullness, a completed state that has settled into your consciousness rather than a calendar. When you dwell in that inner sovereignty, the many 'Israelite' parts—fear, appetite, doubt, ambition—acknowledge one ruler. Jerusalem is the seat of consciousness, where every thought reports to the one governing idea; Israel represents your entire inner domain under that order. The external history speaks softly to your present experience: when you imagine and feel the I AM as supreme, order flows through your desires, decisions, and actions. This is the kingdom of God realized as a steady, present-tense awareness, not a distant event. The verse invites you to become habitually aware of the one ruling presence within you.
