Voice Within the Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

Neville Goddard would tell you that Saul and David in this scene are not two men from a distant time, but two faces of your own consciousness. Saul represents the alarmed, chasing thought—the part of you that worries you are not enough, that you must hunt for validation through outer kingdoms. David is the loyal, listening I AM within—quiet, receptive, and ready to reveal your true nature as king not by force but by alignment. When Saul says, 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' the inner elder Self recognizes the present moment's voice as belonging to you. David's reply, 'It is my voice, my lord, O king,' is the acknowledgment that you, the real you, are already the sovereign presence. The question, 'Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant?' exposes the chase as a movement of fear and misidentification. The enduring lesson is that the kingdom of God arises not from fighting but from recognizing the I AM as king within, and letting the pursuing self quiet into obedience to that awareness.
