Inner Reign Declares Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as Neville would, the verses reveal that the outward chronicle is but the echo of inner stories. The rest of Azariah’s acts and the quiet passage to death symbolize states of consciousness you entertain and outgrow. When you identify with a past king, you live as that memory; when the text says he slept with his fathers, imagine letting that old self rest and relinquish its grip on your awareness. Burial in the City of David marks planting your attention in the inner citadel—the place where you are most awake. Then comes Jotham, a new reign; notice how a fresh ruler arises not as more effort, but as a shift in assumption, as the I AM takes the throne with clarity. The King’s succession reflects your inner sovereignty: you can revise the record by choosing the state that now rules. This is not history; it is your ongoing act of inner creation, your memory rewritten by imagination into a living now.
