The Inner King's Decree

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the decree is not about geography but about consciousness. The king's voice represents the I AM within you, the royal decree that calls forth your inner Israel from distraction and exile. Ashpenaz, the master of the eunuchs, stands for your outer faculties—the editing, pruning, and disciplining that your mind assigns to you. He is the door through which thoughts of limitation pass, but the decree itself asks for the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes — constellations of identity you already possess. In Neville's terms, the nation inside is in exile until a new awareness awakens the kingliness of your being. The seed speaks of your inherent divine potential; the princes are your ruling faculties waiting to exercise dominion in the inner kingdom. The outer scene is only a mirror of your present level of consciousness. When you accept the inner decree, you do not beg for change from outside; you revise your sense of self, and the outer world rearranges to reflect that new state. The exile dissolves as you claim the throne of I AM within.
