Wounding the King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember the king in this account is your inner state of consciousness, the I AM that commands your life. The bow shot at venture is the spontaneous belief that some external circumstance wounds you. The arrow between the joints of the harness marks a crack in your sense of power, a reminder that you have forgotten who you are. The driver of the chariot is your imagination in action, the one who carries you through the day. When the king says, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host, you are being shown how to withdraw attention from the old scene and revise it from within. The battle that continues and the king's death at evening are not punishment but the natural end of a worn-out self when you align with I AM. If you hold the awareness I AM, the event loses its charge; you reinterpret it as a signal to awaken rather than to suffer. The Kingdom of God manifests as you dwell in that present awareness, knowing you are the author of the scene and can re-create your life by assumption.
