Inner Kingship in Jeremiah 4:9

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the kingdom’s power is an inner state, not a throne found outside. When the heart of the king perishest, what perishes is the old, fear-driven sense of ruling from without. The day arrives in your consciousness when you stop identifying with status and control as your reality; you discover that power is an I AM awareness you already possess. The priests' astonishment and the prophets' wonder are the shock of the ego prompting awakening to a higher order—your life rearranges because your inner weather has shifted. Jeremiah invites you to notice where you have misplaced authority, and to suspend the old narrative about government and succession, replacing it with the conviction that all authority flows from the I AM within. As you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the outward world organizes to reflect that inner sovereignty. The old rulers dissolve, not by force, but by a change in attention—from seeking power from without to acknowledging power as consciousness now.
