Inner Allies of 2 Samuel

Neville's Inner Vision

These names are not distant history but states of consciousness standing ready around your inner commander. Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite—each facet awakens as needed. Hezrai embodies steadfast resolve; Paarai embodies patient, precise action; Igal carries strategic clarity; Bani embodies loyal service to the aim; Zelek carries courage to face the unknown; Nahari embodies quiet endurance through daily duty. They are armor-bearers to Joab the son of Zeruiah—the inner leader whose commands you honor by supporting with your entire consciousness. When you acknowledge them as part of your I AM, your sense of self enlarges from a solitary will to a fellowship of energies moving in harmony with a single purpose. The imagination, rightly directed, remakes your world: you are not at the mercy of events, but the events spring from the awareness you decide to inhabit.
