Guarding the Inner King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the lens of Neville Goddard, the king is your I AM, the living center of awareness. The command to compass the king with weapons is a call to surround that I AM with disciplined thought, faith, and unwavering assumption. The guards are not soldiers outside you; they are imagined states of consciousness—steady attention, praise, gratitude, and a firm decision that the presence of God is the ruling reality. The 'ranges' mark the boundaries of your present awareness, where you refuse to admit any contrary motion into the king’s realm. When intruders arise—doubt, fear, or doubt-filled appearances—you do not fight them with force, you revise your state to one of invincible protection by insisting that the king remains present and unassailable. The king’s movement, going out and coming in, represents the continual expression of the I AM through action and rest. By walking with him, you acknowledge that the kingdom of God is not a distant nation but the law of consciousness you inhabit. Your authority rests on the certainty that the king is alive, protected, and eternally present in you.
