Inner Covenant of Kingship Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the story speaks not of history but of the movements of consciousness. David represents the kingly state—awareness asserting itself as master of its experiences. Jonathan is the loyal ally, the willingness of your heart to stand with the truth that you intend to become. Saul, the visible threat, stands for the conditions that pretend to rule you when you forget who you are. When they made a covenant before the LORD, they enacted a turning of allegiance within: a covenant with your Higher Self, the I AM that you truly are. The promise 'thou shalt be king over Israel' is the felt reality you enter the moment you decide, in imagination, that you are sovereign over your life. The command 'Fear not' is the thermostat of your being; fear is merely the last resistance to accepting your own kingship. By aligning Jonathan's fidelity with David's vision, you unify two patterns of thought and allow the future to take root in present awareness. The wood where David abode is simply your inner retreat—a quiet place where you dwell as the desired ruler of your circumstances.
