Inner Surrender and Dominion

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this verse as a parable of your inner life. The outward surrender of Jehoiachin mirrors a moment when your sense of self yields to a stronger impression—that power exists 'out there' and not within the I AM. Babylon represents a dominant belief in limitation; the king, mother, and princes symbolize the attitudes and memories you carry that reinforce that belief. The exile is the moment you realize your present condition is a dream of separation, not the truth of your being. Yet the page also offers a transition: the inner king can claim sovereignty. The I AM within you can arise and reestablish dominion, turning the eighth year into a fresh start of consciousness. Providence and guidance are present whenever you refuse to argue with appearances and align with a royal state of awareness. By directing your imagination to the truth that you are king, you restore the captive back to his rightful place in your life.
