Morning Victory Within: Saul's Reign

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, the victory over outer Ammonites is the triumph of an inner state, a new center of consciousness taking command in the 'morning watch'. The three companies symbolize the three chief faculties—will, memory, and imagination—moving in unity under the I AM that Saul represents. The heat of the day is the clearing light of awareness, burning away the remnants of fear and disbelief until nothing remains but movement and order. When the people cry, 'Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us?' they speak the old ego or fear that resists the new state; but Saul's victorious march shows that a ruling consciousness has awakened. The death of those who would put to death the dissenters is not punishment; it is the rejection of the old self's claim to limit your reign. In truth, your inner king has asserted authority over 'all the Ammonites' of lack, limitation, and doubt. The act invites you to live by assumption rather than circumstance: I reign, now, in this mind, and all appearances conform to that truth.
