Inner Crown Rises: Isaiah 14:5

Neville's Inner Vision

Whence comes the breaking? Not from some distant act of providence, but from a shift in your own awareness. The staff of the wicked and the sceptre of rulers are symbols of power you have accepted as real in your mind—fear, limitation, the belief that you are at the mercy of forces outside yourself. When you acknowledge the I AM within as the sole ruler, those symbols lose their grip; the appearance of power over you dissolves because the reality you inhabit is the consciousness that knows itself as the one power. The Lord who breaks the staff is the same I AM you awaken to, the divine presence that cannot be opposed. This is not about changing outward circumstances but about changing your inner state; the Kingdom of God is not a throne to seek but a state of awareness to inhabit. As you rest in that realization, the sense of being ruled by others vanishes, and you stand crowned with quiet authority. The verse invites you to see that all oppression is a misperception dissolving in light of your true nature.
