Inner Counsel of the King

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner scripture of your life, the king represents your central I AM awareness, and the two counselors embody rival movements within consciousness. Ahithophel's role as counsellor reveals a clever, worldly planning mind—a voice that thinks in strategies, calculations, and outward appearances. Hushai, the Archite, stands as the companion who resists mere cleverness and embodies loyal, wider insight that safeguards the whole kingdom. Neville teaches that events in the outer story are inner movements of consciousness. Here the juxtaposition invites you to observe which inner counsel you are entertaining and which you accept as true. When you identify with the I AM as the king, you can listen to the counsel that aligns with your highest good and divine order, not merely expedient outcomes. The alchemy is in revision and feel-it-real acceptance: decide that the inner king will claim the wiser, kinder, more harmonious plan as the real plan. By gently preferring Hushai's expansive response over Ahithophel's clever schemes, you reaffirm that your life is self-created through inner decree, imagination, and steadfast faith in the divine I AM within.
