Mantle Rent Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the rent of the mantle is not a history lesson but a primer for inner conversion. Samuel turns to depart and the hem tears—an outer token of an inward decision: the old kingship (Saul's state) has finished in the field of consciousness. The true ruler remains the I AM within; the torn garment merely declares this shift. Your imagination is the field upon which kingdoms rise or fall. If you resist the rent by clinging to the past identity, your world will not advance. If you welcome the tear as proof that you have moved into a higher state, you invite a new set of circumstances to reflect that inner authority. The mechanism is simple: assume the feeling of the already-present king, see the old garment rip, and let the present awareness re-issue itself as your new realm. Your presence of God—the I AM—does the ruling; the visible signs become confirmations, not causes.
