Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 11:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 11 in context

Scripture Focus

9And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

1 Kings 11:9

Biblical Context

Solomon’s heart turned from the LORD, despite the LORD appearing to him twice. As a result, God’s anger rested on his course and the covenant was endangered.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 11:9 invites us to see Solomon’s drama as a mirror of our own consciousness. The LORD is the I AM, the one awareness that appeared to him twice, and yet Solomon’s heart turned away, chasing other images. Here the anger of God is interior—a dissonance in your state of consciousness when you forget your unity with the divine within. The appearances are not external facts to fear, but internal cues that you have drifted from alignment. When you fix your attention on the imagined separations, you narrow the living presence that animates your world. The remedy is not argument but revision: assume the I AM remains your sure reality; feel the reality of unbroken intimacy with God as right now. In that revision, the inner movements shift from loyalty to illusion back to loyalty to the one I AM. The moment you return your heart to that presence, the anger dissolves, and your life reflects the wholeness that was always yours.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the I AM is the sole Presence right now. Revise any sense of distance, and feel it real by stating I am one with the I AM with your whole being.
