Inner Letter to the Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

I read Ezra 4:11 as a parable of the inner realm, where a letter carried in the outer world mirrors my own inner decree. The king is the I AM—my unshaken awareness that rules all experience—while 'thy servants on this side the river' are the scattered states of mind clinging to the old order. The letter itself is not a document to be defended but a condition I hold until it becomes my living atmosphere. If I insist that I am governed by fear or doubt, I am merely echoing the opponents; if I rewrite the letter as an assertion of authority, I am consenting to the truth I seek. In this moment I do not petition a distant king; I assume the king has already acknowledged me and I am writing from that realized state. The 'at such a time' marks the decisive instant when I choose the inner tempo of faith over inertia. By letting the inner decree stand in place of the old report, I invite Providence to move through my symbols and bring the outer scene into harmony with my inner royal decree.
