Solomon's Inner Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene not as history but as your inner state made visible. The king with a navy of Tarshish and Hiram is the image of your I AM drawing two streams of consciousness—wealth and wisdom—into a single rule. The gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks are the varied impressions your attention gathers when you dwell in a state of assured desire. The three-year cycle of the ships is the rhythm of imagination returning with nourishment as you refuse to doubt the dream of fullness. Solomon exceeding all other kings is your inner authority rising above fear and lack. The earth seeking Solomon to hear his wisdom mirrors how your inner environment seeks the counsel of the still, inner voice God has placed in your heart. The gifts, the merchants with linen yarn, the chariots and horses, symbolize powers of mind and resources placed at your command. When you inhabit this inner kingship, abundance flows into Jerusalem—your center of awareness—so densely that silver appears as stones and cedar trees rise in your inner vale. Outward forms are images of a single, victorious state of consciousness.
