Inner Alliances of Kings

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the list not as geography but as the map of your own consciousness. The 'regions' and 'cities' are inner dispositions—Dor, Bet-shean, Ramoth-gilead—each a field of awareness you tend. The marriage to Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, is the soul's covenant with wisdom—the I AM choosing consciously to unite with inspired thought. Baana and Ahinadab stand for the ruled and the stewarded realms of life you govern from within: provision, order, boundaries ('walls and brazen bars') that protect your inner wealth. The phrase 'the region of Argob in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls' speaks of mental fortitude and the multitude of opportunities you unlock when you align your states with the divine ruler. Ahimaaz in Naphtali, who also takes a wife from Solomon, suggests fidelity to wisdom and the expanding reach of your inner kingdom through right relationships. Remember, imagination creates reality: when you, the I AM, revise your inner scene to accept these alliances, your inner world becomes a well-supplied, protected realm.
