Inner Priests, Outer Power

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 17 of Samuel's shadow-world shows the ego king issuing a decree to destroy the holy state represented by the priests. The priests are not a history lesson; they are your inner sanctuary, the state of holiness and separation you are asked to defend. The king's claim that 'their hand also is with David' speaks to a misreading of appearances: David is the higher self, the inner life moving toward realization, and the priests who sheltered him are the teachers of faithfulness. The servants who refuse to strike recognize that to harm the priests is to deny the very I AM within you. The external order cannot override the inner law you have chosen to obey. When you hold to the I AM, you see that obedience is not to a transient king, but to the living alignment of your inner vision. The scene resolves in a transfer: the inner sanctuary remains intact; the outward world honors the inner discipline by not acting against it.
