Hair Of Inner Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

Absalom's hair becomes a mirror of the mind's habit: to weigh oneself by external standards. The annual poll marks a recurring attempt to prove worth by what others call heavy or impressive. The king's weight represents a social or conscious standard that names value. Neville Goddard teaches that every outward sign—hair, strength, loyalty, purity, vocation—is a state of inner consciousness. The heavy hair reveals an identification with image rather than with the I AM. To revise, return to the inner covenant and imagine your worth is already established in God. See that true strength comes from alignment with the I AM, not the weight of appearances. When you realign your inner scene, the impulse to measure yourself by external scales dissolves; holiness and integrity replace vanity, loyalty to a worldly king yields to covenant loyalty to the divine within, and your vocation flows from the realized sense of being rather than from outward show.
