Mephibosheth and Inner Kingship

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse-laden words are not merely events; they are states of consciousness. Mephibosheth represents the self-image that believes itself crippled by a single past incident. The five-year-old marks the earliest formation of the assumption: I am limited, I am no longer capable. The nurse's flight is the mind's habit of escaping truth, the impulse to deny present power when threatened by memory. As she hurries, a fall occurs and limitation is reinforced—measured not by bones but by belief. Yet the Kingdom of God, which the verse points toward, is not found in revision of circumstance but in the revision of consciousness. If you identify with Mephibosheth you will live according to that claim, thinking movement is impossible. But the I AM within you knows no limp, no broken story survives in the light of awareness. By sinking into the feeling that you are whole right now, you undo the misreading that caused the fall. See yourself not as a child bound by a rumor of loss, but as the I AM, the life that never leaves its throne of health and motion.
