Inner Kingship and Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

On the page, the outer scene is a mirror of your inner life. Shimei’s curse is a negative thought form that tries to take sovereignty over the I AM within you. Abishai’s zeal to strike represents the loud impulse to erase unwelcome feeling by force. David’s choice to spare and bless is the recognition that you are king over your own domain today; his refusal to kill is a rebuke to any inner verdict that would imprison you in punishment. The anointed one is your highest awareness, not a person, and to curse it is to misread who you are. By pardoning Shimei, David demonstrates that the curse carries no final law—life and dignity survive, and a firm vow seals the new alignment. The inner movement is toward forgiveness as the natural posture of consciousness, not a concession to appearances. When you feel the reality of this kingship, you disarm the old judgments and reawaken the sense of your power to bless and restore.
