The Inner Kingdom Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

In the allegory of the verse, the nobles and princes symbolize the powers you have trusted outside yourself—titles, wealth, authority, social rank. The call to the kingdom is the moment you turn from the world of forms to the I AM that you are. They come, they are summoned, and yet there is no one seated on the throne, for the throne belongs to awareness, not to any person or position. This is the true judgment: when you identify with the outer structures of power, you step into exile from your own sovereign state; when you knowingly return to the I AM, the kingdom becomes present now. The verse promises that the outer pageantry cannot sustain itself as the substance of life; the real kingdom is the inner, unshakeable consciousness. So you do not resist appearances, you revise them by assuming the state of kingship within; you declare, in effect, the kingdom is mine now, and the world bows to the I AM that dwells within. When you do, the prophecy ceases as a distant rumor and becomes your lived experience.
