Solomon's Inner Workforce

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's great host in 1 Kings 5:15-16 is a mirror for your inner state. The king is your I AM, the consciousness that governs form. The seventy thousand who bear burdens are the persistent ideas and duties you accept into your moment-to-moment being; they keep the temple of your life upright by steady pressure. The eighty thousand hewers in the mountains are the living energies—the imaginal acts you fashion in imagination—hewing away stone and shaping circumstance from within. The 3,300 officers who rule over the work are your higher faculties of discernment, planning, and authorized direction: the inner governors who ensure effort is coherent with purpose. The mountains signify the rugged terrains of thought you climb, not external toil. When you acknowledge that all this is within your state of consciousness, you realize you are not a victim of fate but the architect of your conditions. By assumption, you place the entire operation under the rightful kingliness of I AM, directing the workers to cooperate toward a single, noble design, and the outer result manifests as you imagined.
