Crown of Inner Kingship

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the drama of Mark 15:17–20 is not about a man on a cross but about your inner state. The purple robe is the self-image you clothe yourself with to prove worth; the crown of thorns is the pain you invite when ego clings to a story of authority. The mock hail is the crowd within, praising a you shaped by fear, while the reed and spit are the tests of your value by outer opinion. Yet the true king sits in the I AM, unshaken, the silent observer of all. When you identify with the symbols, you feel the weight of their world and the sense of separation; when you revise, you replace the symbols with the conviction that you are the I AM, sovereign over your inner life. Assume the feeling of royal awareness now; let the purple dissociate, the crown fall away, and your awareness remain intact. The 'crucifixion' then becomes the shedding of false identities, and your true kingship remains, ready to reign from within.
