Gathering the Inner Elders

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse is not about a political event but the inner royal act of summoning every part of your mind to corrective counsel. The 'king' is your I AM, the stable consciousness that rules your inner kingdom. The elders of Judah and of Jerusalem are the wise faculties—judgment, discernment, memory, devotion, and the religious center of your heart. When they gather, alignment occurs: inner law and worship converge under one ruling awareness. The outward gathering mirrors your willingness to bring scattered thoughts into agreement with a single, sovereign assumption. Covenant renewal implies you are choosing a new pattern of life—an inner contract supported by certainty that God is within and that your imagination is the instrument by which reality is re-made. This is neurosis-transcending work: you re-imagine your inner court as calm, obedient, and deliberately attentive to the I AM. By noticing the movement of attention toward unity, you activate a new state of consciousness in which you dwell as the ruler who commands peace by assent to the one I AM residing in you.
