The Inner Reign Of Saul

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul’s reign here is not a history lesson but a symbol of your inner authority. In Neville’s language, the kingdom of Israel is the inner state you govern by awareness, and the word Saul stands for the conscious ruler you are when you remember I AM. The phrase 'reigned one year' marks a beginning, a first assured presence of kingly consciousness. The clause 'and when he had reigned two years over Israel' points to a maturation: time expands as your certainty grows, and your inner kingdom comes more fully under the sovereign I AM. The two-year period suggests that leadership in your life is established not by external events but by the steady, imaginative conviction of being the ruler of your thoughts and feelings. If you are tempted to doubt, realize that every moment you identify with I AM, you are extending your reign over the entire inner nation. Time shifts from a sequence of events to a stream of conscious identity, where circumstances bend to your unwavering awareness.
