Hidden Heir, Inner Preservation

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner scripture, the king's daughter is the higher mind, Jehoshabeath, who knows that the true heir must be kept from the fear-driven crowd. The bedchamber scene is a metaphor for a quiet state of consciousness where the I AM shelters your essential self. Joash represents your higher self, the Davidic heir, kept safe by covenant loyalty and providence. Athaliah is the outward storm of doubt; the act of hiding is your decision to stop identifying with fear and to revise reality from within. Imagination acts as the keeper: your inner Jehoiada-like priest-guardian ensures the heir remains until the moment of rightful ruling. By mentally withdrawing the heir from the slain kin and restraining the external din, you align with the inner covenant that cannot perish. This is the law of the inner kingdom: the essential self endures when you guard it in awareness, until the time comes for the outer manifestation to follow the inner reality.
