Inner Royal Provision Unfolded

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner city of your mind, the king represents your ruling I AM. The king's portion of substance pledged to burnt offerings is your allocation of attention, time, and feeling to acts of devotion. Morning and evening offerings symbolize daily intentional living; the sabbaths and set feasts point to cycles of rest and celebration within consciousness. When the king commands the people to give to the priests and Levites, he is instructing you to supply your inner faculties—the priests of awareness, the Levites of understanding—with nourishment so that they be encouraged in the law of the LORD, the inner law of your own mind. The law of the LORD is not external; it is the immutable order of consciousness. By feeding your inner priests, you sustain the law, and the outward world reflects this inner arrangement. So the action you take is an inner decree: I allocate my mental substance to the daily offerings of gratitude, service, and discipline; I remove resistance to the law; I imagine the community inside you being encouraged in the law as you are encouraged.
