Inner Cleansing Of Samaria
2 Kings 23:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Josiah removes the high places in Samaria, slays the priests, and returns to Jerusalem.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, Samaria represents a scattered mind—altars built from fear, habit, and the approval of others. Josiah speaks as your true I AM, the centering consciousness that can audit every belief and command: no more divided worship. The cleansing of the high places is a spiritual revision, a decision to stop energizing idols with attention and to return allegiance to the one undivided God within. The priests are the worn habits and rituals that feed the old altar; when you choose to 'slay' them in imagination, you deny the power of the past over your present, and the energy attached to those rituals is burned away. The bones on the altars indicate the stubborn memories you burn with a decisive blaze of awareness, clearing the space for living energy to flow into Jerusalem—the inner city of peace, alignment, and communion with the divine presence. Your task is to assume a new state: that you are already in right worship, the center of truth, untouched by the old idols. From that inner stance, outward forms rearrange to reflect the restored unity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: close your eyes, breathe gently, and revise a specific habit by affirming 'I am the I AM, whole and free.' See the high place dissolving and the altar cleared; feel the inner city of Jerusalem returning to consciousness.
