Inner King's Counsel

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard’s terms, the names on David’s page are not people apart from you but states of consciousness within. The uncle who is a counselor and scribe represents the mind’s capacity to reflect, weigh, and record possibilities. Jehiel with the king’s sons is the discernment that considers lineage and outcome—your inner heirs of intention. Ahithophel, the king’s counselor, is the voice that sounds profound but can mislead unless checked by Hushai the Archite, your loyal companion—your higher imagination that revises and keeps the vision aligned with truth. Jehoiada and Abiathar symbolize priestly wisdom and spiritual authority, reminding you to consecrate thoughts to higher aims. Joab, the general, embodies decisive action and the force to bring plans into form. Together, they show that the king’s authority rests on aligning these inner faculties with the Kingdom of God within. When you imagine and accept the right counsel as real—feeling it in your bones as the now-ordered mind—you rewrite your inner weather and invite external outcomes that reflect your true state.
