Inner Reign of Jehoram

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM sits as king over Samaria—the stage of your thoughts. Jehoram's reign, long and mixed, shows that even when you remove one idol—the image of Baal—you do not suddenly sever all old worship. You behave toward the good, yet you persist in Jeroboam's sin of self-reliance and division; so your inner life remains divided, not fully aligned with the one God of your awareness. The eighteenth year marks a shift toward a higher ruling consciousness, but the twelve-year ledger reveals the stubborn habit in the background. The instruction is not to condemn, but to awaken to the possibility of a complete conversion: to displace another idol, to refuse to follow former patterns, to stand in the certainty that the I AM is the ruler and the only power. When you imagine the end—the true worship of the only God within—you begin to short-circuit the old sin-lines. Your job is to revise: affirm the end in the present, feel the reign of your true self, and let the former loyalties dissolve.
