The Inner King and Sacred Measure

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM—your inner King David—rules your field of awareness. The Moabites symbolize fears, judgments, and unruly impulses. Measuring them with a line is the sovereign act of setting a boundary in consciousness; two lines to strike down correspond to casting out two disruptive habits, while one line kept alive preserves a usable faculty—focus, courage, or disciplined energy. When the Moabites become David’s servants, your inner doubts and cravings serve your purpose rather than govern you. Hadadezer’s advance toward the Euphrates is the pressure of outer circumstances testing your boundary; by gathering chariots and horsemen you mobilize your powers, and by houghing the horses you render their force harmless, while reserving a hundred chariots for constructive use. This inner conquest enlarges the kingdom of your awareness, proving that you can master energies and direct them toward service of your higher aims. Remember: this is a description of states of consciousness; imagination is the workshop where you form and reform your kingdom.
