Gathering the Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Your consciousness has hired out its security to the nations of fear, doubt, and lack. When you do, you scatter your awareness, and the sense of self becomes burdened by a 'king of princes'—the ruling idea that forces you to chase appearances. Hosea promises a gathering: not a conquest from without, but the I AM gathering all fragments back into the wholeness of God within. The sorrow you feel is the inward correction that comes when the outer dependencies lose their grip; it is the gentle recognition that the burden you carried was never real in the one Mind. Exile and Return describe the movement of consciousness from chasing externals back to the inner Kingdom, the realization that the Kingdom of God is not a distant realm but the very state of awareness you now acknowledge. In Neville’s terms, the 'I AM' is the king who rules from within; the 'king of princes' is the counterfeit ruler of your image. Your reality is the ruler you assume to be true; revise that ruler to the I AM and you awaken to abundance, harmony, and unity.
