One King, One Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Two groups arise in the story, one following Sheba into separation and the other clinging to David. Spiritually, these are not tribes but states of consciousness—rebellious thoughts that trumpet separation and loyal, centered awareness that recognizes the I AM as king. Sheba's declaration, 'We have no part in David,' is the mind’s declaration of separation from the one who governs your inner life. The Benjamite is a symbol of a stubborn component of self that insists on private tents, individual claim, and scattered allegiance. When Israel goes after Sheba, your attention is scattered into many external concerns, reactivity, and stories about lack. Meanwhile, 'the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem' portrays the remaining faith: consciousness that, no matter the outward noise, the inner ruler persists. Jerusalem stands as the inner center where the I AM rules; Jordan’s dividing current becomes a threshold you cross back into unity. Neville teaches that the true work is not conquering rebellion but re-deciding who sits on the throne of your mind: the I AM, the one king of your inner kingdom.
