Inner Crown Ascends

Neville's Inner Vision

To Samuel’s scene is a metaphor for the inner self granting form to a state of consciousness. The 'LORD' is your I AM, and 'hearken unto their voice' is your attention listening to the many desires that rise within. When it says 'make them a king,' it is not about politics but about the decision to establish an outer form for a state you have already imagined as real. The 'king' represents a level of authority you choose to dwell in, a new assumption you consent to until it becomes the very atmosphere of your day. Samuel acts as the beam of consciousness that speaks to your inner crowd and then directs them to their cities—an image of returning to ordinary life after a decree has been settled in your mind. The key spiritual truth is that the kingdom you seek is already within as a state of awareness. When you accept a particular inner state as real, your outer world must follow, in time, with corresponding appearances. So the inner decree precedes the outer crown; you become king by self-approval, not by external appointment.
