Inner King and Morning Star

Neville's Inner Vision

To you, the verse is a map of inner conquest. Overcoming is not fighting others but turning away from limitation toward the I AM you are. When you keep the works—your divine patterns—until the end, you establish a state of consciousness that commands experience. From that state, you will 'have power over the nations,' meaning you master the fluctuations of life by steadfast imagination. The 'rod of iron' is the discipline of thought and feeling—an unyielding alignment of purpose with divine truth. It shapes old forms, not by coercion of others, but by you identifying with God in you, like a potter reshaping vessels. And the 'morning star' is your dawning awareness—the consciousness that you are the living idea of God, shining in and through every scene. The outer world changes when you persist in this inner ruler. So practice becoming that overcomer now; your authority arises from the inner stance, not from force but from the undeniable presence of the I AM shining as you.
