Inner Kingship in 2 Samuel

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the outer tale is a mirror of your inner monarchy. Ishbosheth and David symbolize two streams of consciousness contending within you: the old identifications and the higher, unified awareness. Abner and Joab are the driving faculties of action, setting the stage for inner decision; the pool of Gibeon represents a boundary where opposing currents meet, and the 'two sides' of the pool are your competing beliefs about who you are. The twelve from Benjamin and the twelve of David illustrate inner aspects vying for precedence—your instincts and your higher insight. The battle itself is the mind testing a new assumption: will you sustain the reign of the higher state, or cling to the familiar king? David’s seven years and six months of Hebron symbolize the patient cultivation required to align consciousness. When Abner is defeated by David’s camp, it signals the moment old identifications yield to the truth your I AM has chosen. Helkathhazzurim, “the field of cutting,” points you toward cutting through illusion to establish one true reign within your awareness.
