Inner Kingship and The Fall

Neville's Inner Vision

This verse invites a Neville Goddard style reading: the outer event is a mirror of inner states. Saul and his sons fallen symbolize a former sense of self that believed in rule through outward power. The Philistines stripping the slain represent currents of circumstance that expose what you still presume about yourself. Yet the I AM—the true self—remains untouched; the power to rule is not in sword or crown but in awareness. When you accept this, you realize that external defeat cannot harm your divine nature, for your causative power resides in imagination and consciousness. The scene becomes a doorway: the fall signals a revision of identity, not a tragedy. By turning your attention inward, you may affirm a new sovereignty—one that aligns with the kingdom of God within—in which power flows from perception, not from outward event.
