Inner Tidings, Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Neville reader, the tidings are not merely an external fact but a signal of your current inner settlement. The 'kingship' and the 'sons' are inner faculties—judgment, bravery, compassion—so the report that they are slain points to a mental belief that your inner sovereignty is gone. David's tearing of garments is the ritual of waking from a belief in lack. The crowd of servants mirrors the vibrations of public opinion within you, aligning with a mood of grievance. Yet the Kingdom of God resides in you as awareness that cannot be touched by rumor. See the report as a dream image, a signal to revise, not a verdict to fear. Assume the state that the inner faculties are alive and intact; declare that no 'son' within you has died; you are consciousness, and your inner life is secure regardless of appearances. When you persist in the feeling that this inner order is unshaken, the outer scene shifts to match your inner conviction, and grief gives way to steady peace.
