Inner Ashes to Awakening
2 Samuel 13:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Tamar mourns deeply, placing ashes on her head, tearing her colorful robe, and crying aloud, signaling a public act of grief. This outward ritual signals an inner upheaval of loss and identity.
Neville's Inner Vision
2 Samuel 13:19 shows Tamar wrapped in the outer signs of mourning, but the real message is the language of consciousness. The ashes on her head, the rent garment, the hand to the head, the crying—these are inner movements of a mind convinced of loss. In Neville's terms, the scene is a living illustration that your outer life is the dress chosen by your inner assumption. If you believe you are left out, violated, or cut off from your rightful future, your state will dress itself in ashes and torn color. Remember: God is I AM—awareness that cannot be harmed by external events. To heal, you must relax into a different assumption and feel it as real now: you are whole, protected, and already in possession of your future. Do not plead with the past; choose that your inner self remains untouched and your desired outcome is present in imagination. The crying is the inner movement of consciousness when a false identity resists the light; your task is to welcome the light, revise the narrative, and let the present reveal what you consciously hold as true.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and assume the feeling 'I am I AM—unharmed, complete, and already possessing my future.' Then revise a scene you fear by mentally dressing it in light and letting your desired outcome appear as present.
