Inner Kingship on the Move

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s flight becomes a symbol for the soul’s journey of consciousness. The king stands for the I AM who rules every state in awareness, and his faithful servants embody the pliable thoughts and feelings that obey the command of imagination. This scene teaches that the kingdom of God is present not as a distant political order, but as a living arrangement of mind: when I assume I am the ruler, I can command even what I once mistook for outside circumstance. The act of leaving ten concubines to keep the house is a symbolic release of lower attachments that drain energy from the throne of perception. The caravan moving to a far-off place mirrors the movement of attention into a higher field of awareness, where presence feels nearer and more intimate. If I dwell in the feeling that I am the king within, the outer world must conform to that inner arrangement. Imagination, not circumstance, writes the outward scene; I am the author of my life by the simple act of an assumed reality.
