Inner Victory Over Outer Foes

Neville's Inner Vision

In the verse, the Syrians of Damascus are not distant enemies but inner thoughts arising to resist a new idea of self-rule. Hadadezer stands for a stubborn ego that would keep you in the old kingdom. David embodies your I AM—awareness that knows no defeat, the realizing power that can slay your fears. The twenty-two thousand slain are not a historical tally but the countless transient thoughts that you allow to pass when you clearly and consistently claim your inner kingship. When you acknowledge that the inner Damascus is conquered by your awareness, the external world aligns with your victorious state. Your mind's Syria disarms not by force alone but by your assumption of an already-fulfilled crown, and the result flows from the law of imagination: you become the conqueror in the inner scene, and what follows in time is the outward evidence of that inner state. Trust that your I AM is undefeated and always now.
