Humility Overthrows the Crown Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Put simply, the 'king' and 'queen' are inner thoughts—those controlling assumptions you have about yourself. When they are commanded to humble themselves and sit, you are asked to quiet the mental kingdom that exalts form and status. The 'principalities' and the 'crown' are the ego's jangling glory, the image of separateness that your attention prizes. If you concede that such power must fall, the inner city cannot remain closed; the ‘cities of the south’ he mentions are the blocked channels in your consciousness, the habits that keep you from feeling your I AM presence. The exile is not punishment but a shift of resonance: when you stop feeding the old story, your inner Judah is moved by a higher awareness and carried into a state of wholeness. In Neville terms, imagine that your awareness is the city, and when you humble your identifying thoughts, the gates open and freedom flows. Your true kingdom does not fall; it awakens as you align with the I AM, letting the ego betray its crown to reveal divine action here and now.
