Salute Your Inner Authorities

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the command to salute those who have rule over you and the saints is not a social form but a summons to acknowledge the governing powers of your own consciousness. The rulers are the disciplines and higher thoughts that direct your life, and the saints are the harmonies of virtue already alive within you. When you imagine greeting them, you are honoring the I AM that governs your inner world, and you awaken obedience and faithfulness as natural expressions of that state. The line about Italy saluting you points to a wider sphere of mind—the inner church that stretches beyond your immediate sense of self. This is a reminder that the authority you seek externally is already present as your inner authority; your greeting strengthens the alignment between your outer actions and your divine inner governance. In this light, praise becomes recognition of your true state, and submission becomes joyful alignment with the order of your consciousness.
