Weeping for Absalom: Inner Grief

Neville's Inner Vision

David's lament is not merely a historical scene but a mirror of your inner life. The king represents your I AM, the steady awareness, while Absalom symbolizes a younger, impulsive part of you you deem lost or misaligned. The ascent to the chamber over the gate marks crossing a threshold in consciousness where feeling and decision meet. When David says, 'would God I had died for thee,' he discloses a radical inner choice: to let an old self die for the sake of a higher state. This is the psychic death that clears the path for renewal. The weeping is the inner movement of emotion that precedes transformation; it purifies the mind so imagination can take hold. Remember, reality follows the state you hold within; you are not at the mercy of outward events but the I AM that imagines them into being. In Neville's world, imagination creates the new self and the world that follows.
