Inner Dominion of Jericho

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse shows an enumeration, a cartography of inner states. In Neville's language, the outer list becomes a map of inner dispositions. The 'kings' are habits of thought and robotic judgments that rule your present awareness. When you behold them as if they exist outside you, you remain their subject. The truth is that you are the I AM, the aware consciousness that can command the scene. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you acknowledge you have already conquered each king; the inner Jericho, Ai, Jerusalem, etc., yield to your presence because you are now the one who commands. The act of naming them cannot change them; it is the assumption that they have already been conquered that changes the inner weather. The 'land' of your life is your consciousness; the enumeration dissolves into a single reality: there is only your awareness ruling all appearances. Your attention ties or loosens the power of these inner rulers; when you dwell in the feeling that you are the I AM, the whole list becomes a footprint of your conquered kingdom.
