Inner King and Counselors

Neville's Inner Vision

Absalom's act is a symbol of a fresh state of consciousness rising within you, seeking acknowledgment and rule. His Ahithophel is the inner adviser who voices strategy, justifying departure from the old king. The sacrifices he offers are the ritual acts of devotion you give to a belief in change. The conspiracy growing 'strong' is the intensifying persistence of a new mental atmosphere. When a messenger comes saying the hearts of your inner people are after Absalom, you are being shown that your dominant thoughts, feelings, and beliefs have tilted toward a new ruler. In truth, the kingdom you serve is not the external throne but the I AM within; your imagination is the governor. You can reverse this by assuming the end: that the inner king rules now, that the old advisers dissolve into quiet, and that the outer world begins to align with the inner state you affirm.
