Guarding the Inner Ark
1 Chronicles 13:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Uzzah touches the ark and dies; the text underscores that approaching what is sacred requires reverence and proper boundary, else ritual order breaks within.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice, the ark represents the I AM present within you. Uzzah's gesture to touch the ark signals a bold, ego-driven impulse to reach or control the sacred without proper reverence. The LORD's anger is the inner alarm that sounds when you violate the sacred boundary of your consciousness. Dying before God becomes the symbolic shedding of a false self, a purge of ideas that pretend to possess the sacred rather than to live in it. This scene is not external judgment but a demonstration of inner cause and effect: when you attempt to manipulate the holy, you displace alignment with the one presence. To be in harmony, you must let reverence govern your thoughts and actions, recognizing that the sacred is not an object to grasp but the I AM in which you exist. By aligning with this state—feeling as if you already are the presence you seek—you honor the boundary that keeps life intact and present.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly for five minutes and imagine a radiant ark resting in your chest. Repeat, I am the I AM, and feel reverent, unmanipulated presence; let any impulse to control fade as you rest in inner sanctity.
