Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 13:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.

2 Samuel 13:1-2

Biblical Context

Absalom's sister Tamar is introduced, and Amnon loves her. Amnon's longing makes him sick and unable to act, highlighting the inner drama between desire and integrity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this record, the players are not distant people but states of consciousness within you. Tamar represents purity and wholeness, a standard of dignity you honor in every part of your life. Amnon’s longing is a restive movement of the mind—an impulse that threatens to overwhelm sound judgment. The sickness and vexation are the mind’s alarm that you have forgotten you are the I AM, watcher and governor of your own experience. The lesson is not to condemn feeling but to awaken from identification with it. You revise by recognizing that you are the I AM and you approve only that which serves integrity and love. When the impulse arises, imagine the end result already settled in harmony and feel the reality of your inner kingdom. By aligning with this I AM, you affirm human dignity and keep the family of consciousness intact, letting light dissolve the drive without shaming it. The outward drama reveals an inward law: you govern your thoughts, shape your lived world, and preserve the sacred value of every facet of your being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the I AM governs your heart; revise the scene by letting the impulse dissolve into calm and affirm, I AM the governor of my consciousness. Feel it real by repeating I AM until you sense wholeness.
