Claiming the Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

That line is not a political conquest but a psychology of rulership. The land you are told to possess is the landscape of your own consciousness, and the cry I will set a king over me is the admission of a governing thought you have chosen to identify with. When you compare your inner realm to the nations around you, you reveal the habit of imitation, the ache to imitate power rather than to awaken it from within. The true king in your life is not a throneholder outside, but the I AM—awareness itself—ruling from within. If you feel led to secure an outward order, notice the impulse as a signal to revise: you enthrone the I AM over the picture of lack, over the name and form of circumstance. Claim that your life is governed by the king of unity, clarity, and love. As you dwell in that inner state, the land is really yours to possess and dwell in, not by conquest of others but by the conscious acceptance of your sovereignty.
