Gilboa to Inner Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

1 Chronicles 10:1-3 presents an earthly battle where the Philistines press Israel, the men flee, Saul and his sons fall, and Saul is wounded by archers. In Neville's psychology, these happenings are not distant history but an inner drama of consciousness: the Philistines are fears and distracting thoughts that threaten the throne of your awareness; the flight of Israel is the forgetting that you are the I AM, the sovereign presence within. Saul and his sons dying embodies the old picture of authority—the self-image of kingship—that dies under the weight of belief in lack, limitation, or separation. The archers' wound marks the moment when misthought pierces your sense of kingship. Yet the scene is not final defeat but invitation: to revise from within, to reimagine your inner government where you reign as the I AM. The outer battle mirrors the necessity to reoccupy the throne with a new assumption, a higher consciousness that births reality. When you make this shift, the sense of ruling returns, and you awaken to true sovereignty inside.
