Ramah and Naioth Within

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s flight to Samuel at Ramah and his dwelling in Naioth is the inward movement of consciousness toward the harbor of God. The pursuit by Saul symbolizes the lingering fear within the mind that tries to chase you out of your true state. When David tells Samuel all that has been done, he embodies the inner confession of the self and invites the quiet wisdom of the inner guide to speak. Naioth stands as a condition of prophetic rest, a state where imagination is trusted as the living pulse of truth. The report that Saul knows of Davids presence illustrates the moment the outer attention becomes aware of your inner sanctuary. Ramah and Naioth are not distant places but two states you can inhabit by the I AM presence. In this reading, fear is transmuted into discernment as you realize that guidance and protection arise from within, and the inner witness remains with you regardless of outward noise.
