Inner Habitations Cleared

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse, the ‘habitations’ are not merely places but states of consciousness you have built around a limited self. The stripping away—swallowing, toppling—occurs in the field of awareness, where the I AM witnesses every shifting of identity. The wrath is not punitive but the conscious pressure that compels you to relinquish attachment to outer power and status. The ‘kingdom’ and its ‘princes’ symbolize your inner sovereignty—breathing, ruling within the steady awareness that you are the I AM. When you identify with a transient role, you lose ground; when you awaken to the inner government, the outer structures fall into place. This is the exiling and returning described: you are exiled from a false self only to return to the true throne inside. The passage invites you to trust this purgation as mercy, a necessary clearing so the real dominion can arise from within your own awareness, unshaken by external collapse.
