Kiss of Reconciliation

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as a living map of consciousness. The king is your I AM—the enduring awareness that presides over every thought and feeling. Absalom, the rebellious or estranged part of you, has found his way home; Joab is the trusted messenger within who brings the news. When Absalom bows at the king's face and the king kisses him, you are not watching a distant incident but witnessing the revival of unity within. Forgiveness is not something you give to another; it is a state you consent to inhabit. The kiss embodies mercy and grace entering your inner kingdom, mending the split between resentment and love. This is how Neville teaches: imagine the end, and let the feeling of it real fill your chest until it becomes your present experience. The return of Absalom signifies the return of harmony, a new arrangement of facts in which separation dissolves into love. Practice this inward rewrite: choose the end-reunion and dwell in the sensation of that kiss as your own in this moment.
