Inner King's Confrontation

Neville's Inner Vision

Here we witness a man of action calling out a guardian of the inner realm. Abner's question, 'Who art thou that criest to the king?' is the mind's doubt asking, 'Who denies my Inner King?' But David answers with reverent regard for the Lord's anointed, translating it into your own interior: the king is your higher self, the I AM you are becoming aware of. When you neglect to guard that inner king—to withhold attention from the higher self—the inner consciousness becomes exposed to destructive thoughts and events that seem to threaten your well-being. The spear and the cruse of water are symbols of the outer tools by which you are kept in check; their presence reveals a breach in loyalty. Neville’s teaching would say: treat the inner sanctum as sacred, and assume the posture of one who keeps the Lord's anointed intact within you. Do not permit the outer world to dictate the fate of your inner king; instead, affirm that you are the vigilant steward of your inner sovereignty, and imagine that this loyalty is already established, unshaken by any external incident.
