Inner Counsel of the King

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the king's house represents your current state of consciousness, and Zadok and Abiathar are the steady faculties of discernment that hear the world’s whispers and pass them to the inner authorities. Their two sons symbolize facets of perception—swift and faithful carriers of news. When it is written, what you hear from the king's house must be told to Zadok and Abiathar; this becomes a practical practice: every impression that arises in mind—fear, desire, clarity—should be brought to your inner council for interpretation by the I AM. Hushai, the friend, entering the city, embodies the counterbalance of wisdom that tests Absalom's schemes; within you, a higher imagination counters the runaway stories of outer appearances. The Presence of God is not distant prophecy but the active listening and revising of consciousness. By treating every sensation as material to be revised by inner counsel, you awaken the kingship that is already within you.
