Inner Tax of Desire

1 Samuel 8:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 8 in context

Scripture Focus

14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
1 Samuel 8:14

Biblical Context

Verse 8:14 warns that a king will seize your best fields, vineyards, and oliveyards. It signals the cost of seeking outer security at the expense of inner abundance.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville point of view, the king is not a man but a state of consciousness born from believing you lack. The people cry for a ruler because they have forgotten that the I AM, the awareness within, is the true owner of all fields, vineyards, and olive trees—their symbolic wealth. When the story says 'he will take,' it is your inner state handing over its possessions to a newer thought, a servant of fear or appetite. The outer scene mirrors an inner belief that security comes from possession rather than from awareness. To shift this, you do not fight the king but revise the condition of your mind. Return to the immaculate I AM, assume that you already possess abundance, and that your inner garden remains untouched by any change in circumstance. Feel as if the wealth is yours now, in this moment, under the sovereignty of your true self. When you live from that inner certainty, the outer will align with your revised sense of possession and justice.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, picture your inner fields and wealth intact, and declare, 'I AM the owner of all I desire.' Then feel the reality of abundance in your chest.
