Inner King Unveils Hidden Motives
2 Samuel 14:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The scene shows a king seeking truth and a hidden scheme revealed through cautious speech, illustrating how discernment pierces appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this scene, the king operates as the I AM in you—quiet, authoritative, able to see beyond surface speech. Joab's hand is the subtle impulse of strategy that would bend speech to a desired end; the inner mouthpiece merely repeats what the ego wants you to hear. The woman’s words, and the king’s question, show that wisdom is not born of clever tales but of a state of awareness that knows all that is in the earth. When you acknowledge that the king is wise 'according to the wisdom of an angel of God,' you are naming the inner faculty that perceives truth, even when appearances strive to conceal it. You don't chase facts outside; you revise your inner state to reflect the truth you seek. Assume you already know the whole scenario, that the I AM controls every event in your consciousness, and feel it. The appearances of others and their plots are but movements of your own mind, reformable by a single shift of state. The wise king in you awakens to see and align, dissolving hidden motives into clarity.
Practice This Now
Practice: Assume the I AM is all-wise. Then revise the scene in imagination so hidden motives are revealed by inner discernment, and feel it real now.
