Inner Reign: Repetition of Sin

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse as a mirror for your inner life. The king who reigns in Samaria represents a state of consciousness that clings to the old sins of Jeroboam—the mind in habit to external forms rather than the living I AM. When you identify with that king, you allow 'evil' to appear in your sight, not as punishment from without but as resistance within to your true nature. The call is to recognize that you are not bound to the ancient pattern; you can revise by shifting the meaning you give to outward symbols and ceremonies, replacing them with awareness of the one presence and power within. As you persist in the imagination of a faithful interior reign, you awaken from habit and birth a new order of your inner weather. In Neville's terms, you are not seeking to change the world so much as to change your assumption about who you are and what it means to live in the I AM. The inner kingdom can choose a different king, and with that choice, the night of old sins dissolves into the light of a present, conscious reign.
