Inner Crown of Accountability

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s keen indictment, the princes are not merely men in political power; they are states of consciousness in your mind that gamble with life on the altar of gain. To shed blood is to act from a belief that others exist for your use, not as brethren on the same journey. To set light by father and mother, to oppress the stranger, to neglect the widow—these are inner attitudes you tolerate when fear masquerades as strength. The holiness you despise and the sabbaths you profane mark the rhythms of your own awareness, your times of quiet listening and trust. When tales are told to shed blood, when you eat on the mountains and practice lewdness in secret, you are tracing the line between your private desires and the divine order. The chapter calls you to confront the gifts you take, the usury you charge your own feelings, and the greed that binds you to extinction of the other. Remember: the forgetfulness is not in history alone, but in the inner memory of your I AM waiting to awaken.
