Inner Alliances And The Crown Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 7–8 offers a symbolic drama of states of consciousness contending for rulership. Adonijah's call to Joab and Abiathar is not mere politics but a portrait of inner impulses that seek loud affiliation, quick moves, and loyalty to surface power. The faithful company—Zadok the priest, Benaiah, Nathan, Shimei, Rei, and David's mighty men—points to the inner ministers who remain aligned with the true king within. The kingdom is not secured by outward support but by the I AM, the living awareness that houses all authority. When you identify with external followers you invite instability, for you have separated from the source of power. The practice is to observe these movements, choose the inner allegiance, and allow the inner ministers to reorganize the scene so that your inner king presides. Neville's method asks you to assume the inner reality, revise the outer appearance, and feel the established kingdom within, regardless of appearances. The inner line of succession is spiritual; your present birthright rests in consciousness, and all outward portraits respond to your inner conviction.
