Inner News of the King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

When you read Ahimaaz’s words—‘All is well’—you are hearing the outward messenger reporting the state of things. Yet the king’s anxious question about Absalom reveals a deeper longing: the inner life seeks a definitive end, not just news. In Neville’s psychology, events are states of consciousness; the tumult Ahimaaz witnessed is not a fact about the world but a clash of inner dispositions. The king’s directive to “turn aside and stand here” invites you to quiet the field of noisy thoughts and attend to the still, unshakable witness within. Providence and the Presence of God are not found in the uproar of appearances but in the realization that your I AM—the inner king—has already resolved the conflict in consciousness. The “delivery of the men” who lifted up their hand against the king becomes the inner release of resistance when you refuse to be carried away by outer tidings. What you perceive as a partial or concealed outcome mirrors your own inner end already settled by your assumed state. You are invited to dwell in the assumption that the kingdom is safe and true.
