Dissolving the Inner Taxer

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, the 'raiser of taxes' is not a man, but a habit of mind—an inner demand that life be taxed for security. The 'estate' or kingdom in the text is the consciousness that gives form to experience; its glory is the outward order that attention lends to appearance. Yet this tax-raiser is doomed by a shift in awareness: within a few days, the thought-form dissolves when one ceases to feed it with belief and instead remembers the I AM, the constant awareness behind all images. The outer scene thus yields to inner truth, and the kingdom endures not as a political realm but as the living presence of I AM within you. The apparent ruler and his taxes disappear as you claim your true sovereignty, not by force but by recognizing that external control is a mental projection that can be revised instantly.
