Multicolored Garment of Inner Dignity
2 Samuel 13:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents Tamar in a robe of many colors, signaling a public sign of virginity, then a servant retrieves her and the door is bolted.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the consciousness, the garment is your inner signal—diverse colors correspond to the manifold states you imagine or resist. The king’s daughters representing virgin perception stands not as a historical fact but as a symbol of innocent, undefiled awareness. When the servant leads her out and bolts the door, the scene becomes the mind’s act of externalizing a state and then locking it into memory or circumstance. Neville’s law of assumption tells you you are the I AM, the awareness that animates all images. If you accept that the robe is indeed yours—breath, imagination, and feeling—then the external scene can be revised. The trimming and the door are adaptive images; you can revise by returning to the inner state as sovereign: you are not at the mercy of events, you are the ruler of your inner kingdom. By staying with the feeling of the robe and the peace that follows, you reclaim purity, dignity, and strength that underlie all appearing trials.
Practice This Now
Assume you already wear the multicolored robe now. Mentally unbolt the door and step into your sovereign space, feeling your dignity and freedom rise.
