Healing the Inner Rift
2 Samuel 13:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Absalom speaks to Amnon with neither praise nor condemnation, because his hatred for Amnon runs deep after he forced Tamar. It marks an inner moral fracture within the family.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the I AM within, this moment is a reflection of inner order disturbed by a forbidden act. Absalom is the state of justice that refuses to bless or condemn the wrongdoer; in my language, the 'I' registers the deed as real in the world of appearances, yet refuses to be drawn into retribution. The hatred is not a person but a belief that a fragment of me has violated the sacred image of Tamar, the sacred sister within me. By not choosing good or bad toward Amnon, the inner court declares that morality is not a public verdict but a lived alignment with truth. When I imagine Amnon as a distorted instinct, I can heal by knowing the I AM as the omnipotent order that restores balance. The feeling of separation dissolves when I assume the state that Tamar's dignity is forever preserved in me, and that the law of love reigns in my inner chamber. This is the inner move from judgment to alignment, from resentment to release, by assuming the desired inner state and feeling it real.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, I AM the unconditional I, the unity that sees all are kept by love. Revise the scene: affirm Tamar’s dignity, release the memory of harm, and feel it real as the inner state of justice guiding you now.
