Neville's Inner Vision

In the spirit of Neville, the scene is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness. Jehoash rising to reign in the seventh year signals a completion of a prior cycle in your mind. The city Jerusalem stands for your heart where all royal moves must occur; to reign there is to own the state of I AM-awareness in daily life. The forty years of sovereign rule indicates a sustained, settled state of awareness, a ruling condition that does not waver when appearances shift. The mother's name, Zibiah of Beersheba, points to your inward lineage—the Beersheba well of oath and gratitude—reminding you that your inner authority arises from a wellspring of nurture and memory, not from external authority. When you acknowledge that you are the ruler of your inner city, you align with the inner decree: I AM has begun to reign in this moment. The true king does not rise from fear or lack, but from an assured sense of identity as the I AM, the one consciousness that creates and sustains your world. Practice: assume the feeling that you are already crowned in the heart, and let that assumption govern your thoughts and feelings.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Place your hand on your chest, close your eyes, and declare, 'I AM the King of this inner Jerusalem,' feeling the heart's throne stable and reigning for a minute.
