Return of the Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

David's summons is not merely political; it is the undoing of a split within consciousness. The elders of Judah symbolize your inner faculties—the bones and flesh that make up your sense of self. When David asks, Why are ye the last to bring the king back, he is inviting your I AM to recognize the standing king within, the authority your entire psychic kingdom already acknowledge. The naming of Amasa as captain in the room of Joab marks a shift of leadership in your inner world: you choose a new commanding presence to direct the host, not the old impulse of fear or suspicion. The bowing of all Judah—'the heart of one man'—speaks to the moment when all your inner faculties align as one determination. As you inwardly declare, Return thou, and all thy servants, your outer life crosses the Jordan of separation, rejoining your true state. The kingdom of God is not a distant event but a felt shift in consciousness when your inner assembly votes for a unified king. Your outward life follows the same inward alignment; what you imagine with conviction becomes your next visible state.
