Inner Genealogy of Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, the names are not mere names but states of consciousness—the mind births one form after another as it moves from one dominant identity to the next. Solomon begat Roboam, Roboam begat Abia, and so forth, becomes a pattern in which your present awareness gives birth to the next; the succession reflects how thought forms follow one another until a sense of exile arises. The exile to Babylon is not a geographical fact but the inner experience of consciousness momentarily forgetting its throne. Yet the I AM within you never departs; the story reveals the need to reinhabit your own mind. By recognizing you are the source—the One who births every ‘Solomon’ and every ‘Josias’—you reclaim dominion. The Kingdom of God is not a distant event but a state you awaken to here and now: imagination is the father of life, and feeling is its co-creator. When you revise lack or exile by affirming 'I am the king, I am the I AM that rules this mind,' you return to your own throne and invite higher life.
