Mercy Within Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, kings are not rulers of nations but states of consciousness—fear, pride, and the sense of separation. To 'smite great kings' is your awareness pressing through the illusion that you are ruled by something outside yourself. The line 'for his mercy endureth for ever' becomes the steady heartbeat of your inner life, the I AM that remains constant while appearances change. Sihon and Og stand as fixed inner dispositions you've carried as fact—resistance, stubborn habit, the memory of past defeats. The Kingdom of God, in Neville's teaching, is not a kingdom you enter later but a reality you awaken to: mercy as your own ongoing, unconditioned presence. When you accept that mercy as yours now, the struggle dissolves; the outer events reflect your inner alignment, and your salvation unfolds as you revise image after image to conform to the reality of the I AM. Providence and guidance emerge as you acknowledge that every so-called error is simply a provisional state that mercy can outgrow, leaving you free and sovereign in awareness.
