The Soul Bond of Jonathan and David
1 Samuel 18:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jonathan's soul is knit to David's, and he loves him as his own soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, this verse speaks of the inner knit of states, not merely a friendship. The 'soul' joining is the alignment of consciousness: Jonathan's awareness and David's awareness overlap until they feel as one—one mind, one heart. The bond is not two separate beings in time, but two facets of the same I AM, proving that love of neighbor and love of God move as one. When you perceive that bond as a present reality, you awaken into a generous sense of unity; you are not lacking, you are simply awake to a greater self that loves through you. The outer scene in Saul's court mirrors your inner choice to knit with another, to bear another's joys and burdens as if they were your own. Practice cultivating this state by consciously assuming oneness with a beloved soul, then revising any sense of separation until the feeling of oneness is vivid, and let that feeling guide your day.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe into the heart, and imagine your own soul knitting with another's until you feel one purpose and one life. Then live from that unity today.
