Inner Burial, Inner Bond

1 Kings 13:30-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 13 in context

Scripture Focus

30And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
31And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
1 Kings 13:30-31

Biblical Context

The passage describes the burial of the man of God and a dying wish to be buried beside him, symbolizing a lasting connection after death.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'man of God' as your inner awareness—the I AM. The 'carcase' is your former self, laid in the grave so the higher self can rise. The instruction to bury beside the man of God becomes a directive to align your present identity with the inner royal. The mourners are the doubts and social voices that would keep you from this alignment; you choose the tomb inside where your true nature resides and refuse to be swept away by appearances. By quietly revising your memory—expecting the higher self to inhabit your life now—you give birth to a new state of consciousness. The event is not about physical death but a spiritual revision: a dying of limitation and a deliberate joining with the inner kingdom. In Neville's terms, your imagination births reality as you dwell in this new configuration with unwavering faith.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already buried in the inner sepulcher beside the higher self; feel the old self die and the I AM rise. Then declare, 'My future is anchored here.'
