Inner Reunion After Loss

2 Samuel 12:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

23But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
2 Samuel 12:23

Biblical Context

David acknowledges the child’s death, cannot bring him back, and expresses acceptance, while suggesting a future reunion in the divine realm.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse does not demand a literal retrieval of the past but a turning of the inner eye. When David says, 'he shall not return to me,' he acknowledges that the old form has passed and the future cannot be dragged back by fasting or sorrow. Yet the spirit answers, 'I shall go to him'—not through outward ceremonies but through a deliberate shift of consciousness. In Neville’s terms, death is a boundary in awareness, not a barrier in space. The child lives within the I AM, and you live there too, in the certainty that life is indivisible. Your task is to revise the scene by assuming the end from the inside out: you are already with him in God, you are already where he dwells in light. The emotion of longing becomes the doorway into that state. As you dwell in this assumed reality, the appearance of separation dissolves, and your heart is healed by the truth that you are one in eternal awareness. The 'going' is a movement of consciousness, not a journey through time or distance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume the feeling that you have already gone to him in the I AM; silently affirm, 'I am with you now, in God.'
