Anointed Captain Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe the act as a language of consciousness, not a historical event. Samuel is your inner voice, the I AM that recognizes what you already are. The oil represents an inflow of divine awareness flooding your sense of self, washing away doubt and stiff fear. When the anointing comes, you acknowledge that leadership is a state of mind you assume, not a title you earn; you become captain over your inheritance—the whole field of your thoughts, feelings, and choices. The kiss seals the acceptance, a felt sense that you now inhabit a new tendency: authority without harshness, power guided by love. The wording 'hath anointed thee' translates to 'you are recognized by your own awareness as capable to govern this life.' As you dwell with this awareness, your outward world starts to respond as if the inner governor has taken seat. The Kingdom of God, in this reading, is the reign of the I AM within you, subtly shaping outcomes through your belief and feeling. Therefore, the commissioning is not about Saul, but about your readiness to rule from a state of consciousness that aligns with divine intention.
