Inner Crown Jeremiah 22:18-19

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse as an inner map rather than a historical note. Jehoiakim represents a kingly self clinging to egoic status and outward validation. The command that there shall be no lament indicates your consciousness refusing to feed that old persona with attention or sympathy. The burial outside the gates signifies releasing the habit of identifying with public opinion and with the city’s measured status. The true authority here is the I AM within you, not a political throne. When this decree lands in your awareness, you understand that the old king has fulfilled his purpose and is removed from the center of your mind. As you align with this inner decree, the inner kingdom becomes accessible—not through external judgments, but through the sovereignty of awareness. The result is the rise of the inner crown, a living reality born from awakening, not from history or tradition.
