Inner Hatred to Light
2 Samuel 13:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Amnon's shift from love to extreme hatred and his command for Tamar to leave show a swift inner moral collapse.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the scene is a quarrel of states: the I AM witnessing the surge from love to condemnation. Hatred here is not a fact about Tamar, but a belief you entertain when you mistake your lower impulse for the whole of you. The man who loved becomes one who condemns, because the inner standard you hold—your sense of right order—has been violated by cutthroat desire. When you identify with a higher I AM, you can watch this succession as an inner drama, not an outer verdict. Your true state is the unconditioned awareness that defines reality; the world simply mirrors the movement of your consciousness. By deliberately assuming a higher stance, you revise the scene: you affirm that love remains intact, separation is mercy, and judgment is a call to return to alignment with your divine image. In that light, the arch of hatred becomes the opening through which you turn toward righteousness and repentance.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as your permanent state, revise the scene by declaring, 'I am love undivided; I choose alignment with my divine standard,' and feel-it-real as you forgive and release the impulse to condemn.
