Neville Goddard on 1 Samuel 9:2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.

1 Samuel 9:2

Biblical Context

Saul is introduced as a tall, goodly youth who stands out; the verse points to an inner, kingly state of consciousness governed by God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul’s stature in 1 Samuel 9:2 is not a merely physical description but a symbol of your inner king. The I AM, God within, elects a state of consciousness that rises above the crowd; height becomes a metaphor for clarity, purpose, and rightful authority. When you encounter this inner election, you are not urged to chase outward power but to awaken the sense that you are already chosen to rule your own experience. The 'goodly' appearance speaks to a harmonized mental atmosphere—aligning the senses, desires, and will with divine order. Presence of God is the truth that you are, in truth, the one who presides over your life. The outer world may reflect others, but the inner state is the foundation; your consciousness is Saul who stands taller because God approves and witnesses the life you are becoming. To work this: identify a situation where you feel uncertain; close your eyes, assume the feeling of a kingly sovereignty, and imagine yourself standing above the fray, the I AM quietly governing all actions. Let your revision be that you already bear the royal image, and let the world adjust to your inner rule.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the kingly state: I am the I AM, chosen to rule this life. Feel the inner height rising and watch circumstances align to reflect your royal consciousness.
