Quiet Ascension by Flattery

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's register, this verse is a map of consciousness. The “vile person” is a counterfeit self that arises within the inner estate, not by legitimate authority but through the soft persuasion of belief and desire. The kingdom represents the inner Kingdom of God—the I AM that you are aware of. The flatteries are subtle suggestions that you must earn the crown through clever words or pleasing appearances, a soul-transaction with the self that denies the truth of your innate royalty. When you yield, you place that counterfeit on the throne, and your life mirrors the belief that power resides in images rather than in your true awareness. The remedy is simple and practical: refuse the flatteries by returning to the I AM, assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled as already yours, and revise the inner scene until the crown rests as a fact of consciousness. Judgment comes not from without but from your willingness to inhabit a higher state and to govern it with inner truth.
