1 Samuel 17:55 · World English Bible
When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”
David is the creative power planted in every person, the Anointed sent out to conquer what looms over a life. He goes forth against the giant, the enemy that seems too large to face, which is any obstacle held as fixed and unbeatable.

MANIFESTATION
David is the creative power planted in every person, the Anointed sent out to conquer what looms over a life. He goes forth against the giant, the enemy that seems too large to face, which is any obstacle held as fixed and unbeatable. Saul is the unawakened mind, the sleeping self that watches its own power in action and cannot say where it came from. He asks whose son this youth is because he does not yet know that David is his own.
Abner cannot tell. Neither can a person while he sleeps. The awareness of being fathers this creative power and forgets it did so. To recognize David as one's own son is to know oneself as the father, the I AM, the single source of everything in one's life.

How much of my life have I been calling someone else's doing?
That power you keep searching for outside yourself is you. You are what you were looking for, and the search ended before it began.
A person spends a lifetime riding the ox while hunting for the ox. The forgetting is the only problem, and remembering is the only cure.
You keep knocking at the door from the inside. The one you are calling out to has been your own voice all along.
