Inner Counsel for the King

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the verse is not about ancient offices but about the inner kingship of consciousness. The king is your I AM, the unwavering awareness that rules your life. Jonathan, the counsellor, represents the habit of seeking guidance within; the wise man embodies discernment, the inner capacity to distinguish truth from appearance. The scribe, the memory-keeper of your thoughts, preserves records of what you have deemed important. Jehiel’s presence among the king’s sons signals that these faculties stand with your future-self, your growing qualities and possibilities, ready to be educated and steered by wisdom. When you call forth these inner officers, you invite balance: counsel to consider alternatives, wisdom to weigh consequences, and memory to keep your intent written in imagination rather than forgotten in feeling. The apparent external rulers are only manifestations of inner states given form by imagination. To 'bring the king' to life, simply assume these roles are active in you, and watch decisions align with a clearer, more prosperous inner kingdom.
