Inner Crown of Awareness
1 Samuel 26:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David publicly rebukes Abner for not protecting the king, signaling that fidelity to God's anointed is crucial; he points to the king's spear and water as signs of rightful allegiance.
Neville's Inner Vision
David on the hill speaks as the I AM within you, the sovereign awareness that must govern every thought and feeling. Abner's bowing to outward power represents a state of consciousness that has forgotten its allegiance to the inner king. The great space between them marks the distance between appearances and the reality of your sovereign self. When David says, 'Art not thou a valiant man?' he honors the potential you carry, while the rebuke that 'this thing is not good that thou hast done' declares that neglect of the inner anointing corrodes life itself. The spear and the cruse of water laid bare on the bolster symbolize the sensory means by which the mind keeps the king supplied; they are reminders that what you mix your attention with becomes your reality. The call is simple: remember who you are; revise the scene until your awareness refuses to surrender to fear, pride, or neglect. If you accept the inner kingship now, you realign your whole atmosphere with covenant loyalty and let a new order spontaneously arise.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, picture the hill, and affirm, I AM the king of this mind; in imagination, gather the signs of allegiance and feel loyalty to the I AM coursing through you as real.
