Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 13:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

15Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

16And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.

17Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

2 Samuel 13:15-17

Biblical Context

Amnon's move from affection to extreme contempt leads him to push Tamar away. The act exposes an inner judgment that denies wholeness and life to another.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the biblical scene the players are states of consciousness. Amnon embodies a belief in separate desire that has hardened into judgment; Tamar stands for purity and the unity seeking right relationship. When Amnon commands, 'Arise, be gone,' the mind seals off truth, expelling it as if it were an intruder. This moment reveals how awareness can drift from the I AM into a fractured perception, generating harm through rejection. Yet the page also offers a path: heal not by condemning the impulse but by reinterpreting it as a signal for a new assumption. Real justice and dignity arise as you affirm that no facet of your consciousness is outside your making. The 'expulsion' is an old pattern; the 'door' can be unbolted by a revision: you are the I AM, and all parts of you belong to one life. Choose to treat yourself and others with wholeness and reverence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume you are the I AM and revise the scene by claiming, 'There is only one life within me, and all parts are cherished.' Feel this unity now until it registers as real.
