Inner Kingship Awakens

Neville's Inner Vision

Jotham's death in this text is not a tragedy but a doorway. The old state of consciousness has laid down its reign, and a newer ruler arises within the 'city of David'—your inner awareness. 'Slept with his fathers' signals the passing of the former identity from present sensing; 'buried with his fathers' suggests that the old self is withdrawn into memory, not annihilated. Ahaz reigning 'in his stead' becomes the new, imagined governor of your life, the I AM occupying the throne of your mind. In Neville's practice you do not chase external events; you revise your inner state until the outer life reflects the new reign. The city of David stands for the sovereignty of your consciousness; the succession is your invitation to dwell in a different mood, a different felt reality. The verse invites you to ask: who sits on the throne of your mind? By choosing and feeling the reign of a new king within, you discharge the old saga and birth fresh circumstances into being.
