The Inner Priesthood Revealed

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul's decree in your mental sense is not a history lesson but a figure of the self where fear commands action. The priests of the LORD are your inner worshipers—the higher consciousness that knows David’s flight is your awakening moving toward safety in God. The servants who would not touch the priests are the integrity of conscience within you, refusing to shed blood for the sake of domination. Doeg the Edomite embodies the ruthless impulse of the ego that would annihilate parts of your sacred awareness in a panic to seize control. When fear speaks through the 'king,' your inner sanctuary seems under siege, and violence appears to be the only solution. Yet the appearance of murder reveals nothing but a misalignment; the true agent of protection is the I AM within, not external orders. The greater truth is that the moment you awaken to the I AM, the 'slaughter' dissolves—the mind ceases to persecute its own holiness, and your inner David finds refuge in God. The verse thus becomes a mirror: obedience or disobedience manifests as states of consciousness; trust the higher worship, and judgment becomes clearance of false identifications.
