Inner Kings of Psalms

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines are not about ancient rulers only; they reveal the states of your own consciousness. The kings are your beliefs, your claims of power, gathered in a council that passes before the light of awareness. They pass by together because a finite self moves as one, led by old stories of threat. When they see the 'it'—the Presence that cannot be swayed by fear—they marvel and hasten away; fear grips them as if a birth-pain of illusion. The travail is not their outward torment but your awakening to a higher order. The verse invites you to know that the Presence of God is the I AM inside, your inexhaustible Kingdom. Once you claim you are the I AM, the authority of external kings dissolves; judgment ceases, for you no longer seek permission from rulers outside. The Kingdom of God is not coming from without; it is established within as you refuse to entertain any thought alien to the I AM. So you stand in the quiet sovereignty that witnesses all events, aware that true power rests in consciousness, not in circumstance.
