Reclaiming the Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse shows that the moment the outer Philistine storm reveals the death of the outer king, the inner people, the 'valiant men' within, rise to retrieve what seems lost. The I AM in you, the true king, does not wait for history; it authorizes a circle of inner faithful to go out and bring the fallen image back to the center. The burial under the oak is not memorial gloom, but a conscious setting of the inner stage—an act of reverence that releases the past form and returns the energy to the root of awareness. Seven days of fasting symbolize a deliberate quieting of the story you have been telling about yourself—an invitation to the I AM to re-animate the bones of the former self with fresh life. When you freely decide that your kingdom is not vanquished but awaiting re-embodiment, you are the Jabesh-gilead in action: you retrieve your own Saul by acknowledging that the higher self rules. The kingdom of God is not distant; it returns wherever you reset the center of consciousness and feel it real.
