Inner City of David's Rule

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner text, David represents the I AM within you, the ruler of your consciousness. The gutter is the narrow threshold where old, stubborn habits resist crossing; the Jebusites symbolize persistent inner fears; and the lame and the blind are the limiting beliefs you carry about what you are capable of. David’s decree—that the one who rises through that passage and overcomes these inner enemies shall be chief and captain—marks the moment when awareness asserts its sovereignty over every fragment of thought. The fort is the steady citadel of your attention, and the city of David is the established kingdom of your mind, built from Millo inward, symbolizing a reinforced perimeter of consciousness. This is not conquest of a land, but the reclamation of inner authority: you are the ruler of your own life, and by aligning with the kingly state of consciousness you transform your sense of power, purpose, and belonging. The old judgment that the blind and the lame cannot enter is dissolved by the new truth that all aspects of consciousness may dwell within the house when governed by the I AM.
