Ziba at the King's Door

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater, the house of Saul represents an old, unrenewed self clinging to past loyalties. Ziba, the servant, is a state of consciousness you keep ready, a memory of service and obligation you call into the presence of the King—the I AM that stands as awareness. When you hear David ask, 'Art thou Ziba?' you are confronted with your current state: is this old service what you still identify with, or are you ready to declare, 'Thy servant is he'—not as a denial of the past, but as an alignment with the kingly self within? The king’s question and the servant’s answer reveal the dynamic: the kingdom exists where consciousness acknowledges and commands its own states. By recognizing Ziba and inviting him to serve the King, you soften the gap between old identity and divine authority. The inner ruler works not by force but by the trust that the I AM, your true King, dwells in you, and every state of mind can become a loyal servant to that royal presence. When you assume this monarchy of awareness, freedom and order arise from within.
