23And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Biblical Context

The passage describes a prophet being mocked by youths; he curses in the LORD's name, and two bears attack and kill forty-two of them.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the outer act mirrors your inner life. The 'prophet' stands for your inner state of awareness—the I AM that resides where truth is known. The 'little children' are tiny habits of disbelief that jeer at your Real Self. When they taunt, the inner self turns and names the divine law—your thoughts are seeds and your life is its harvest. The curses signify a moment of willing alignment with spiritual law, not vengeance. The two bears are the swift, inexorable reactions of subconscious energy when misused thoughts meet the law. The event is not punishment from a jealous deity but the natural consequence of entertained disbelief transforming into experience. This is a reminder that what you entertain in imagination becomes the texture of your life; your inner resistance becomes the outward structure of your world.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM' as the steady observer within Bethel. When you catch yourself mocking your inner guidance, revise that thought to 'I am the divine order now; thoughts are seeds I choose to plant,' and feel that reality as real in your chest.
