The Inner Rise of David

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul’s fear of David is not an external tragedy but the mind clinging to yesterday's self. In the Neville-verse, every character on the page is a state of consciousness. David embodies the rising sense of I AM—the calm, discerning presence that acts wisely under pressure. When Saul grows angry and pursues, the true action is not war but alignment with the inner victory already proclaimed. The princes of the Philistines going forth are the outward tests that arise to confirm the inner decision. David’s superior wisdom signals that the new state has taken root; the line that his name was set by is the recognition of your inner circumstance becoming outward form. Providence and guidance are the consistent friction of a mind that permits this new state to occupy more space. So fear is displaced by the practiced feeling of already having won, by the assumption that the wise self is now your natural and automatic mode of operation. This is how the inner kingship asserts itself.
