Inner Kingdoms Rise Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Morning light falls on the page of Daniel, and I hear the inner confirmation: nations in the outer story mirror states of consciousness in the mind. The first year of Darius the Mede stands for a stabilizing I AM, the awareness that holds and strengthens a new ruler inside. The three Persian kings are three old habits of thought, coming and going; the fourth, richer and more forceful, is a belief in external power that stirs up the realm of Grecia—an inner agitation that pushes consciousness into drama. Then a mighty king arises who seems to rule by will, and his dominion confirms a pattern of control. Yet the prophecy says his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, not to his posterity, but to others; this tells me that no outer succession can keep the mind captive forever. When I heed the I AM within, I witness the dissolution of that single will into four currents, opening the mind to broader possibilities. The point is not doom, but transformation: inner power shifting shape, ready to be guided by a wiser, broader sense of self.
