Inner Escape of Abiathar

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that this page speaks not of a man escaping a battlefield, but of a state of consciousness slipping away from the old order and moving toward the kingly rule within. Abiathar's flight can be read as your imagination turning from fear and liability to allegiance with David—the inner ruler, the I AM. The Ahimelech line and the danger outside symbolize your former priestly assumptions, and their threat becomes a signal that the mind has outgrown them. When you identify with David, you are not abandoning the past but affirming the present, a return from exile to the kingdom that already governs you. Exile is the moment you feel distant from your true temple; return is when you align with the inner government of God. The verse invites you to trust that loyalty to your higher self supersedes any external peril; you are where the I AM reigns, and your life flows from that reign. If you are anxious, float your attention to that inner David and declare, 'I am with the I AM; I belong to the Kingdom now.'
