Shaveh and the Inner King

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, the people and places are states of consciousness. The king of Sodom is the lower, material self coming to acknowledge the victor who has conquered fear and limitation in the inner theatre. The Valley of Shaveh, the king's dale, marks a moment of equalization where the I AM asserts sovereignty and commands the outer world. The slaughter of Chedorlaomer represents the liberation from oppressive beliefs; the kings with him are allied patterns of thought released by the triumph. The reality that follows is born in consciousness, not in external events. You are Abraham here: you imagined a kingdom, conquered inner tyrannies, and return with a changed inner posture. The true kingdom is the dominion of I AM over circumstance, and reality follows your inner decree. Let the inner self meet the ego with regal calm, and the outer world will align with that decree.
