Inner Burial, Inner Bond
1 Kings 13:30-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 13 in context
Scripture Focus
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.'
