Kindness Across Generations: Inner Peace
2 Samuel 10:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David shows mercy to Hanun after the Ammonite king’s death, sending comforting emissaries. The passage highlights mercy crossing generations and the grace of generosity.
Neville's Inner Vision
David’s decision to extend kindness to Hanun after the Ammonite king’s death is not a political maneuver alone but an inward decree. The outer event of a king’s death mirrors an inner shedding of a protective stance; Hanun becomes the symbol of a younger, tentative part of your own consciousness that may resist mercy. When David says, I will shew kindness unto Hanun, the I AM within you declares that mercy is the natural posture of the God-aware mind. To comfort him by the hand of his servants is to send inner messengers—words, tones, and visions—into the land of Ammon, the realm of memory and stiffness. You cross the border of former enmity by assuming a reality in which kindness has already taken root, and you act accordingly. The phrase as his father shewed kindness unto me echoes the principle that the action of grace sustains itself across cycles in your inner kingdom. Thus, mercy multiplies; your inner climate shifts, and outer life responds with a softening of resistance. Embrace this: mercy is the operating system of consciousness, and when you practice it, the world rearranges itself around your renewed sense of being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume you have already comforted the inner 'Hanun' in your life. Imagine sending the messenger of kindness and feel the relief as the old tension dissolves.
