Inner Escape Through Wise Counsel

Neville's Inner Vision

Hidden in plain sight, the scene is not about people but states of mind. Ahithophel's counsel embodies a seductive belief that outer power will crown your fortunes, a voice that urges you to stay and face the crowd. Hushai's counterpoint is your inner discernment, the revision that says, move away from the danger and toward the center of your being. David stands for the I AM—the constant awareness you are—and the plains of the wilderness symbolize the busy field of appearances where fear can swallow you whole if you identify with them. The instruction to move quickly is a command to shift states in consciousness rather than resist the world. By heeding the wiser inner counsel and acting, you preserve your kingship—the steady sense of self that cannot be overthrown by fleeting circumstance. This is transformation, not denial: you pass over from belief in lack to living realization. The question posed is: will you listen to the inner message or be carried away by the crowd? Your answer determines the fate of your inner kingdom.
