Drawn Into the King's Chambers

Neville's Inner Vision

Neville-style reinterpretation: 'Draw me' is not a call to a distant deity but a declaration of consciousness awakening to Its own Presence. The speaker’s longing becomes an assumption you hold in mind: you want to be where you already are. 'We will run after thee' expresses the inner momentum of imagination pursuing the divine within, not an external chase. 'The king hath brought me into his chambers' signifies that awareness has drawn you into its private, intimate state—a chamber of quiet power where decisions are made. Within that chamber, 'we will be glad and rejoice in thee' arises as the natural emotion of recognition, a joy that comes from knowing God as I AM. 'We will remember thy love more than wine' sets preference: the felt love of Being surpasses all sensory pleasures. 'The upright love thee' points to the disciplined state of consciousness that dwells in truth and thus loves the Presence. Practice: assume you are already there, dwell in the feeling of the inward king’s company, and let the memory of divine love revise any sense of lack until your inner state is saturated with joy.
