Inner Doorway To Dignity

2 Samuel 13:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

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 13:16-17

Biblical Context

Amnon orders Tamar to depart and bolts the door after her, despite her plea that there is no cause for this evil. The scene centers on Tamar's violated dignity and Amnon's brutal rejection that follows.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is how Neville might read the scene: Not as a history of persons, but as a drama within your own consciousness. The man who says 'bolt the door' represents a stubborn belief that you must cast out any part of you that claims dignity or tenderness. Tamar's plea signals your inner sense of purity resisting a brutal impulse to cast away what you call 'unwanted' or 'unacceptable.' The kingly voice is your habitual assumption that you can sever a portion of your life and seal it behind a door. In truth, no part of you is truly cast out when you know the I AM that holds all within; the outer act merely mirrors an inner state. The healing is to revise this drama by accepting your wholeness and re-scripting the boundary from a place of protection rather than punishment. You are the I AM; imagine the scene with the door left open, a calm, dignified boundary that guards purity while preserving the whole self. Your reality follows your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the drama; affirm that no part of you is cast out, and gently leave the door open as a boundary guarded by love. Feel it-real by breathing in dignity and exhaling judgment until your inner state matches the revised scene.
