Olivet Lament: David's Inner Ascent

Neville's Inner Vision

David's ascent is not a climb in geography but the ascent of the I AM within. The Mount Olivet experience and the accompanying weeping reveal a king who surrenders external authority to the higher awareness that never fails. The head covered and the barefoot walk symbolize humility and vulnerability—the conditions under which the inner ruler awakens. The people with him, all of them covering their heads and weeping, mirror the collective belief that identification with lack must be relinquished, and that the motion upward is an inner movement toward resolution. In Neville's terms, this is a dream you can revise by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled; feel the truth that you are the I AM and that your desires stand already realized in your consciousness. The royal lamentations point to perseverance under trial, not doom; endurance is the soil in which your power matures. So you can use this scene as a practice: address your current challenge from the vantage of your higher self, and let the tears become release, not defeat.
