Crown Lost, Inner Glory Found

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed psychologically, the verse is not about a torn diadem but about an inner turnover of identity. Glory and crown are inner recognitions bestowed by the I AM, awareness itself. When Job says the crown is taken, the outer structures of praise, status, and approval fall away, yet the true power remains in the I AM. The stripping exposes how easily one identifies with appearances rather than with consciousness. In Neville's terms, you do not lose your worth; you postpone it until you revise the scene from a higher state. By assuming the I AM as your present ruler and feeling that reality as real, you reawaken the inner kingship that never left. As you dwell in that state, the movements of life align with the revised self, and circumstances begin to reflect the new kingship rather than the old crown. The 'stripping' thus becomes a doorway to conscious sovereignty, available the moment you refuse to abandon your inner crown to fear or lack.
