Inner Law and Consequence
2 Samuel 11:26-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Uriah’s widow mourns his death; after the mourning, David brings her into his house, she becomes his wife and bears a son; the narrative notes that the act displeased the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this compact passage your attention is invited to the inner law at work in consciousness. Uriah’s wife and the mourning are not merely people and a ceremony; they are inner moves of your mind, your states. The mourning represents clinging to a past loss, a fear that life cannot renew itself except by repetition of old scenes. David, the state that presides over your choices, goes after a felt need to possess and secure comfort, drawing a new bond into form. When he takes her to his house and she bears a son, you see a created circumstance bearing the fruit of that inner decision. The LORD’s displeasure is the subtle, inner check that arises when a creation is not in accord with the I AM, the sole author of reality in you. The lesson for Neville’s reader is that events in your life mirror the states you habitually inhabit. If you want to avoid inner dissonance, you return to obedience to the I AM, not by denying desire but by aligning every act with divine order. The transformation is a voluntary revision of motive, a rising into faithfulness to the inner law.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM is your sole governor. Revise the scene by seeing your actions aligned with divine order, and feel that reality as real.
