Inner Kingly Restoration

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this story, the king is your I AM, and the act of pardoning Absalom is an inner decision that alters the atmosphere of your mind. The inner decree, I have done this thing, becomes a revision of memory; grace moves through your consciousness and creates space for what was estranged to return. When Absalom comes to Jerusalem, yet is not before the king’s face, it becomes a symbol of measured reintegration: you welcome the fragment, but you do not permit it to seize the center before its time. Joab’s prostration and thanksgiving are the felt sense of alignment—the moment your inner faculties acknowledge grace as already given. The return to the house, with the face kept from the king, teaches that healing can unfold in stages within awareness: welcome, boundary, and gradual reappearance of harmony. Practice this: assume that the interrupted relation in your life is already reconciled in the I AM, and feel the presence of that reconciliation releasing old tension, then allow the moment of seeing to come in its own time.
