Seeing the King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To see the king in his beauty is to awaken to the ruler you are in the I AM. The king is not a separate monarch but your own inner state of sovereign consciousness, a beauty that illuminates perception and action. When you behold the land far off, you are not describing geography but recognizing that the distant conditions you desire already exist in the imagination you dwell in. The passage asks you to abandon lack by attending to this inner state with steadiness: imagine the king's presence in daily life, fix your attention on that inner landscape, and let the feeling-tone declare it real. As you persist in this inner sight, outer circumstances shift to match the idea you entertain. Imagination is not escape; it is the cause of reality, and consciousness fashions form from its images. Therefore, return again and again to the felt sense of kingship, and let the beauty saturate your vision of the world.
