Inner Bears and Judgment
2 Kings 2:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Elisha turns back, curses the youths in the name of the LORD, and two she-bears come from the woods and maul forty-two of them.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene the figures are not external characters but states of consciousness. Elisha’s turning and his utterance in the LORD’s name symbolize the act of calling a decree from the I AM within you. The two bears are the twin forces of consequence that arise when you pronounce judgment—fear and control—emerging from the subconscious to enact the meaning of your word. The wood represents the hidden reaches of your mind where impressions lie, while the number of those harmed marks the many scattered beliefs that have been stirred by your decree. The lesson is that judgment births its own return; separation invites a separated experience. The cure is to acknowledge God as the I AM you are and to revise the scene with unity, blessing all, and dissolving the need to punish. When you align with the one power in you—your own awareness—you witness the outer scene rearrange to reflect that inner harmony.
Practice This Now
When you hear yourself judge another, pause, and assume the I AM within you. Revise silently: I bless this one; I am one with all; see the bears recede as harmony fills the space, and feel the truth of conscious unity.
