Inner Sanctuary and Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, Joab is that stubborn habit that chases after outward power (the Adonijah of the moment) while neglecting the deeper alignment with the I AM within (Absalom's rival). The tabernacle of the LORD and the horns of the altar stand as your inner sanctuary—an image of awareness that cannot be manipulated by fear or excuses. When Joab clings to the altar, he represents the impulse to escape responsibility by seeking sanctuary in ritual or status, not in truth. The king's command to fall upon him is your inner command to end the pattern, to bury the old story so the guilt of past deeds is removed from your house—the structure of your mind and its remembered histories. This is not punishment but purification: you clear space for the Presence of God, the I AM, to reign unshadowed. As you revise the scene in imagination, you allow causative action to move through you, aligning your past with your now-presence.
