Inner King Awakening in 2 Samuel

Neville's Inner Vision

Absalom, in this scene, is a segment of your own consciousness wrestling for reintegration with the royal state of being. He has withdrawn to Geshur—an inner refuge of safety where one can dream apart from responsibility. When he says, 'let me see the king's face,' he is not seeking a man’s scrutiny but the immediate, personal recognition of the I AM within. The king represents the I AM—the undivided awareness that governs your life. Joab is the negotiator of discipline, the inner mechanism that requires you to face truth. His willingness to die if there is any iniquity reveals the readiness to release old identities and stories that block alignment with divine presence. The passage invites a repentance not as guilt but as turning attention back to the inner ruler. By choosing to come to the king, you choose to return home to consciousness; exile ends as you acknowledge you are already seen by the king's face, i.e., by God within. In this light, your inner drama becomes a door through which you enter the state of I AM, letting the old self die so the new self, awake to God, may arise.
