Crossing the Inner Passages

1 Samuel 14:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 14 in context

Scripture Focus

4And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
5The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
1 Samuel 14:4-5

Biblical Context

Jonathan seeks to cross toward the Philistine garrison between two sharp rocks named Bozez and Seneh. The geography symbolizes inner obstacles and choices facing courage.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonathan's movement is not a mere trek across stone and valley; it is your I AM turning toward a circumstance you call uncertain. The rocks Bozez and Seneh symbolize stubborn inner propositions—beliefs about danger and limitation that stand at the threshold of your intended action. The northward and southward fronts are your competing perspectives: one way your mind seeks safety in the familiar, the other presses toward the bold venture you deem impossible. But in the Goddard view, the real terrain is consciousness, and the Philistine garrison is the situation your heart longs to transform. When you imagine yourself already past the barrier, you align with Providence as the actor within you; the crossing becomes a revision in feeling, not a change of geography. The 'forefront' facing Michmash and Gibeah shows how a single decision to dwell in the I AM redefines distance: the obstacle dissolves as your inner sense of separation dissolves in the light of awareness. Fear is an old interpretation; you can persist until your inner sight proves the kingdom is already yours.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already across the interior rocks; feel the accomplishment in your chest; rest in the I AM, letting perception align with the outcome you seek.
