Psalm 2:1 Inner Rebellion, Inner Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, Scripture is a map of states of consciousness. When Psalm 2:1 speaks of the heathen raging and the people imagining vain things, it describes the mind's struggle when it forgets the I AM. The 'nations' are the multitude of thoughts and images that feel themselves separate from God, the I AM. The 'vain thing' is any imagined power outside the self that would govern experience. Inside you lies a Kingdom: the realization that you are the ruler of your own world, governed by the ONE presence you call I AM. The moment you identify with the inner king, the outer rebellion loses its punch, for you no longer lend it the reality it seeks. The prophecy speaks to awakening: persist in the quiet conviction of oneness with the divine I AM, and the imagined threats dissolve, revealing the realm of peace as present reality. This is the practice of turning vision into fact: dwell in the feeling of sovereignty, revise every seeming menace into your own decree, and live as the monarch of your inner landscape.
