Inner Camps at Jezreel
1 Samuel 29:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents the Philistines gathering their forces and the Israelites pitching by a fountain at Jezreel. It sets up a juxtaposition of external threat and inner grounding.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's light, the armies are inner states rising within you—fear, resistance, or the impulse to act from without. The fountain is the living I AM, the steady source of awareness from which all ideas and feelings flow. The Israelites choosing to pitch by the fountain symbolizes the decision to remain centered in consciousness rather than be swept away by outer tumult. Recognize that conflict on the external stage mirrors thoughts and emotions you have given energy to in your mind. You, the observer, can reposition your attention: let the fountain of awareness hold center stage and imagine your desired state already present. When you assume and feel that you are one with a harmonious order, the dramatic appearance of an army loses its grip on your peace. Imagination creates reality; align your inner camp with the life you intend to live, and the outer scene will follow.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the next few minutes, assume the state of being at peace at the fountain—see the I AM as yourSource of awareness and feel your desired outcome already real; dwell there until the sense of harmony saturates your being.
