Inner Crown Emerges

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul and his sons fall in the outward narrative, but the deeper tale is of a mind clinging to a crown that no longer fits. In Neville's sense, the battle represents inner conflict between a worn-out self and a latent, God-given sovereignty. The archers are the relentless thoughts that wound belief; the attempt to end life by one's own hand signals a readiness to quit the story rather than revise it. When you identify with a king's power that cannot sustain you, you die to the old self, and the house falls away. Yet the I AM, your essential awareness, remains untouched—waiting for a new image that aligns with life. The kingdom of God is not a place to conquer but a state to awaken; it rises when you revise the scene with the feeling that you are now crowned in consciousness, not by a weapon but by perception. The inner ruler is yours to call forth, and the outer world will reflect the choice to imagine reality anew.
