The Inner King of Luke 23:35-37

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 23:35-37 is not a record of outer spectators but a map of your own inner theatre. The people, the rulers, the soldiers who deride Jesus are the different states of consciousness that contend with your assumption of power. The cry Save thyself echoes the ego clinging to its old story; the call to be king of the Jews points to a throne that only your awareness can occupy. The so-called crucifixion marks the moment when the old self must die to reveal the I AM, the true Christ within. Salvation, then, is not an external rescue but your decision to identify with the one who imagines. When you refuse to give power to the deriders and instead acknowledge that you are the consciousness that imagines, you reclaim sovereignty. The scene itself becomes a prompt to revise: allow the crowd to dissolve into quiet attention; let the crown of awareness rest upon you; feel the victorious sense of being king in your own mind, not at some distant hill.
