Jonathan's Grief and Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonathan's fierce anger and fasting are not mere rebellion; they are the inner movements of consciousness when the ego senses its throne being touched by truth. In Neville's lens, the table and the feast symbolize the outward life of appearances; Jonathan's decision to eat nothing on the second day signals a deliberate turn from ordinary appetite toward the higher allegiance. David represents the divine idea within you—the true self your imagination can wed to, the inner beloved whom you protect by upholding justice. Saul represents the worn-out ego that shames, blames, and tries to bind you to fear. Jonathan's loyalty to David is your fidelity to the I AM within; the moment you acknowledge that inner loyalty, the sense of shame loses its power and becomes a summons to renew your covenant with truth. By choosing to remain true to the higher idea, you shift your inner weather from guilt to love, and the outer scene begins to reflect that harmony.
