Humble Bow Before Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville-Godard reading, the cave is your subconscious state in which possibilities lie. David's bow to Saul is the outer sign of a deeper inner acknowledgment: the authority of the I AM, the true king within. When he calls Saul 'my lord the king,' he is recognizing a divine order in the realm of consciousness—not mere political obedience, but alignment with the inner idea that you are the ruler of your own life. The bow—face to the earth—becomes an act of feeling the king present in you; it is humility not of weakness but of alignment. In Neville's practice, you revise your state by assuming the feeling of the kingship already established in you. The outer scene shifts when you inhabit that inner state: your imagination becomes the instrument by which reality is formed, and your life begins to reflect the inner royalty you accept as your own.
