Inner Crown Of Saul

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this passage as a map of inner authority. The band that goes with Saul are not merely men, but states of consciousness—the hearts God touched—awakening alignment within you. The 'children of Belial' who scoff at the man who saves are the nagging doubts and social fears in your mind that question whether your imagined kingliness can save you from lack or limitation. They despise him and offer no gifts, yet Saul keeps silent. In Neville's terms, the true king is not the outward sign of power but the inner recognition that you already are the I AM, the awareness that ordains what you experience. When you refrain from arguing with those thoughts or trying to buy their approval, you are practicing the sufficient authority that comes from within. The outer scene mirrors your inner state: as you hold your peace and dwell in the feeling of being seen and supported by God, the 'band' grows—grace, favor, and clarity—until actions flow from a prior, quiet certainty. Your imagination becomes the instrument by which this inner quiet manifests as tangible circumstance.
