Restored Crown Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the crown fallen from our head is the outer sign of a retreat from the I AM, the inner kingship of consciousness. The woe and confession indicate not punishment but a shift in state: I have temporarily forgotten that I am sovereign in my own inner realm. When I identify with sin, I contract; I live under limitation as though I am separate from the eternal I AM. But the crown can be restored the moment I revert to the assumption that the inner king is awake now. I imagine the crown resting on my brow, a steady, radiant sign of dominion, and I dwell in that feeling until it colors my thoughts, words, and acts. The old confession dissolves as I revise: instead of 'we have sinned,' I say 'I am crowned, I am free, I choose harmony.' The practice is not denial but renewal, faith in a state of consciousness that creates the circumstances I call my life. Thus the fall becomes a prompt to re-enter the sovereign present.
