David's Inner Lament Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the lament as the movement of consciousness noticing the fall of outer power. The ‘I AM’ is David; the throne of Saul represents a belief that your worth rests in public praise or visible victory. The instruction to teach the bow to Judah is the inner impulse to keep your imaginative faculties sharpened for inner use, not for boasting about outer success. The mountains of Gilboa, with no dew, signal a dryness in vision—an invitation to revise your sense of victory from outward appearances to inward alignment. The casting away of the shield warns you to stop relying on borrowed power; let the inner anointing—your true nature—be your shield. The unity of Saul and Jonathan in life and death points to the harmony of your conscious awareness with its beloved faculties; their joint fate shows that you can hold opposites within a single imagination. Thus the mighty fall merely reminds you that reality is formed by your inner state, not by battles fought outside. Return to the throne of I AM, and reign there in peace, power, and compassionate imagination.
