Inner Chronicles of Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the 'book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel' as the inner ledger kept by your awareness. The 'rest of the acts' are the lingering tendencies you allow to govern your mind. When Menahem 'slept with his fathers,' you are reminded that old patterns may pass away by a natural shift of consciousness; not death of you, but release of the old I. Pekahiah, his son, ruling in his stead, represents a fresher mode of awareness taking the throne. The 'kingdom' in you is your capacity to choose the state you inhabit in each moment. This is not about outer succession but inner alignment with the I AM—the I that remains, even as forms rise and fall. The verse nudges you to acknowledge the inner chronicles: what you keep writing by your attention, what you permit to reign. When you attend to this inner record, you can revise it. So, the inner kingdom becomes more stable, and the sense of kingship is restored as your present awareness chooses a higher reigning state.
