Inner King Discerns Deception

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the king as the I AM in you, the steadiness of awareness that does not bend with outward speech. Joab's touch in the story is the cunning habit of mind—the trickster thought that crafts words to steer outcomes. The Tekoa woman's speech serves as a mirror: her words reveal what your present state is compelled to perform. When she declares that none can turn to the right or left from what the king has spoken, she is illustrating how your current assumption governs every turn of events. Yet the king answers with recognition that Joab's hand is with thee in all this, and that your wisdom—according to the wisdom of an angel of God— is always present to know all things on earth. In Neville's view, this is the movement of your internal climate: a shift from being dragged by appearances to perceiving through the inner eye that can see the whole field. The practice is to revise the assumption now: declare that the I AM, the inner king, is fully sovereign, aware of every condition, and that deception cannot withstand the clarity of this awareness. Watch how new, harmonious outcomes emerge as your mind rests in that truth and feels it real.
