Seeing the Hard Thing Realized
2 Kings 2:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Elisha asks for a hard, even miraculous, blessing; Elijah responds that its realization hinges on his inner focus—seeing him taken away—otherwise it will not be granted.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the scene is a map of consciousness. The hard thing is not a demand but a stubborn condition of mind you must outgrow. Elijah stands as your higher self, and Elisha as the awakened state longing for the double portion of power. The clause if thou see me when I am taken from thee refers to fixing your attention on the end you desire until the old self dissolves and the new self is fully identified with. When you persist in that inner sight, the promise becomes your present fact: the change is now. The moment you realize that the departure of limitation is an inner event, you enact it in your outward world. The difficulty is a discipline of faith, a test to prove you trust the inner vision over appearances. Your imagination is the instrument by which the miracle is performed: see the end clearly, hold it, and feel its reality until it occupies your whole awareness.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes and imagine you already have the double portion. Hold that end-state in vivid detail and feel it real until lack dissolves.
