Inner Kingdom Judgment Refined

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'princes' Ezekiel names are inner states of consciousness, the spaces within you that claim power over life. To 'shed blood' is to drain vitality from anything that is alive in you—your imagination, your compassion, your dreams. The lines about neglecting father and mother, oppressing the stranger, vexing the fatherless and widow, expose a habit of disregard for the roots and the vulnerable parts of self. When you entertain thoughts that belittle another or elevate yourself at the expense of life, you are seating a king on the throne of your inner temple who has forgotten covenant. This is spiritual corruption, and you feel it as discord in your day. The remedy is a revision: affirm within, 'I am the I AM; I govern my inner realm with justice and mercy.' See the inner city restored—each life honored, each part of you protected. When you dwell in that royal consciousness, judgment gives way to harmony, and holiness becomes your natural state.
