Wilderness Of Inner Pursuit

Neville's Inner Vision

David's seeing Saul's coming out to seek his life is a mirror of the mind's fear that would ruin your sense of life. In Neville's tongue, the scene is not outside but inside; the wilderness of Ziph is the mind's dry, barren state where images move but reality remains your I AM. Saul's pursuit is a detachable thought—fear, threat, lack—coming out of the woods to claim your life. Yet David remains in the wood, a shelter of awareness, the observer who does not fight the illusion but lets it pass. The Kingdom of God is not a throne in time but your present consciousness, the unassailable identity that never dies. When you inhabit the awareness that you are the I AM, you stop negotiating with the illusion; you watch the pursuit as a dream and revise it: "Saul is not after my life; only a belief is seeking to possess me." Endurance arises as the inner proof that no outer event can dethrone your essential self. The protection of God is the inner alignment with your true state.
