Entering Zion: The Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture this: the king is not a man but the I AM, the lucid awareness within you. Jerusalem stands as the seat of conscious life—the place where you live in the awareness of being. The Jebusites are the stubborn impressions of limitation—those 'blind and lame' voices that say, 'you cannot enter hither.' They are not outside you; they are habits of thought that pretend to decide what your inner landscape can receive. The command to remove them reveals only your belief that some part of you is absent or incapable. Yet David, the stronghold of Zion, is the inner power that says, 'I am here; I am the king in my own mind.' Zion is the inner sanctuary—the city of David where God dwells. By claiming Zion, you demonstrate that the I AM is not hindered by appearances; you invade the fortress of limitation and install the sense of permanent presence. The victory is not about conquering a city but about awakening to the fact that your inner king already resides in you, awaiting your decision to reign.
