The Inner Dominion Of God

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the Lord in Zechariah 14:9–11 is not a distant king over nations alone, but the I AM—the one awareness in you that governs every thought. When you refuse to split life into private and public compartments, and declare that there is one Lord, you begin to feel that ruler seated on the throne of your mind. The land turning to a plain represents the flattening of mountain-like fears and stubborn habits beneath the light of conscious awareness; every part of your interior field is lifted up into alignment with that singular truth. Jerusalem, safely inhabited, is the peace of your state of consciousness, where no destruction can dwell because you no longer entertain it as real. The unity of the name one signals the wholeness of the Self you truly are; the kingdom of God is your present condition, not a distant event. As you dwell in this, you find ordinary life rearranged by imagination—opportunity, harmony, resilience—flowing from the assumed reality that you are that King now. This is the practical meaning: you reign by acknowledging the I AM as king over all your life.
