Tamar's Inner Grief, Inner Healing
2 Samuel 13:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Tamar mourns after a grievous wound; Absalom urges silence, and Tamar is left desolate within her brother's house.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's psychology, the scene is a mirror of your inner life. Tamar's ashes, torn garment, and crying symbolize a worn self-image and the release of a buried pain. Absalom's whispered command to be quiet represents the inner voice that resists exposing wound to the light of awareness. The house becomes your mind where this story repeats as a grasping of self—desolate, uncomforted, and defined by others' actions. The outer tragedy is a projection of inner states; you are not the events but the awareness that experiences them. By the proven method, you may revise the narrative from within: assume a new state of I AM—present, whole, safe, and beloved—until the feeling of dignity floods your inner room. Let the image of being held by the I AM displace the desolation and restore a sense of harmony. Imagining and feeling it-real, you rewrite your inner script into a truth that cannot be overturned by external appearances.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the feeling of unassailable worth by declaring, 'I am the I AM; nothing can define my worth except my own innermost I AM.' Sit with that feeling a few minutes, then gently revise the inner scene to replace desolation with protection and peace.
