Drunkenness of Leaders Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Jeremiah 13:13 through Neville’s lens is to hear a warning about the state of the mind, not a demand for punishment. 'Drunkenness' here is an image of inner intoxication—the mind’s attachment to appearances, power, and fear—shared by rulers and the people alike. The verse shows that a nation’s outer chaos mirrors its inner condition; when the inner kings, priests, and prophets are out of alignment, the whole city follows into trance. The cure is a transformation of consciousness: refuse the intoxication and assume the I AM as your real center, crown the inner throne with clarity, and allow true order to govern. The prophecy becomes a promise: by claiming a new state of awareness, the external world will reorient itself to righteousness and justice. You are invited to cultivate a personal shift from trance to witness, from spectacle to substance, so that the inner governance shines through every relationship and decision.
