Bread for the Inner Priest
1 Samuel 2:36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse foresees survivors in Eli's house who will beg for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and even ask to be placed in a priest's office to obtain food.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's approach, the 'house' is your inner state and the 'leftovers' are fragments of consciousness stubbornly craving tokens—silver and bread—as sustenance. They plead to be put into a 'priest's office,' a symbolic role through which they imagine nourishment will come. The scene becomes a map of inner life: hunger arises when you look outward for supply, instead of realizing the I AM within is the source of all provision. The remedy is to revise the assumption: the I AM is already the priest, the distributor, and the bread itself. By intentionally assuming the state of inner priesthood and feeling that abundance is now yours, you stop casting parts of yourself as dependent on external offices. You invite alignment, where every fragment is nourished by truth rather than tokens, and your consciousness dissolves the sense of lack by recognizing that the self is the sovereign source of sustenance and meaning.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and imagine the leftovers in your inner house approaching you, begging for bread; assign them to a priestly office in your awareness and feel the I AM supplying nourishment to all parts.
