Inward Accusation at Dawn

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the reign of Ahasuerus as the present state of awareness you call 'I AM' at the dawn of a new mental season. The act of writing an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem is your inner dialogue rehearsing guilt and judgment against the parts of yourself you once cherished (Judah/Jerusalem as your inner city of worship and order). In Neville's language, places are dispositions; the king is the ruling idea that governs your reality. When the mind begins a fresh reign, the old voices—fear, condemnation, doubt—rush to the court and present a charge. This is not an external conspiracy; it is the self testing its sovereignty. The solution is to acknowledge the king's authority and refuse to let accusation define you. Reinterpret the scene by affirming 'I am the ruler of this mind' and 'this inner city is rebuilt by my belief.' As you insist on a new state of consciousness, you replace the old verdicts with living, present-tense awareness. Judah and Jerusalem become the fixed points of your inner worship, not targets of blame. This is the path from exile to return: re-imagining the city inside as the true reality.
