Inner Kingdom Feast

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the passage as a whisper from the I AM within: the Father's appointment was not a distant event but a present arrangement for your consciousness. The kingdom Jesus speaks of is the state of awareness you already inhabit, and the table where you dine is the steady nourishment of belief you feed upon. 'Eat and drink' means to take into yourself the truth you are, to taste the reality of your oneness with God, not by future effort but by present assumption and feeling. The words about sitting on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel are a guide to inner governance: the twelve tribes symbolize your faculties—memory, imagination, reason, affection, will, faith, judgment, speech, observation, and more. To judge them is to observe and revise your states of consciousness, aligning them with the eternal order already established in you. The clause 'as my Father hath appointed unto me' invites you to consent to this divine arrangement and to act from it. This is not a promise to wait for; it is a fact to live by, now, in imagination and feeling.
