Belonging and the King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice: The king in you is not a place but the I AM that stands with all your faculties. When Absalom presses for the company of Amnon and the other sons, recognize that pressure as a summon from your outer world to align inner dispositions. Amnon, the brother, and the king's sons are projections of your various impulses and habits asking to move with you. David’s question ‘Why should he go with thee?’ becomes an inner inquiry: why should any part of my mind accompany me if it is not in harmony with my central I AM? The father’s authority is a state of consciousness, not a decree from without. The scene invites you to revise the assumption: you are already complete, and every faculty—the desires, the fears, the loyalties—are invited to go with you in unity. When you imagine that all parts consciously accompany you, your acts flow from a unified state rather than scattered impulses.
