Fire on Joab's Field Within
2 Samuel 14:30-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Absalom's servants burn Joab's field in retaliation, and Joab confronts Absalom about the act, prompting a moment of accountability and potential reconciliation.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the field near mine and the fire within is not an external incident but a movement of consciousness. The field stands for your state of attention and possession; Joab represents the guard of your resources, and Absalom the grievance that surfaces when you feel exposed. The fire signals energy released when a belief of lack asserts itself, attempting to erase what you think belongs to another. The scene invites a shift: you can revise the narrative from the I AM, the aware self, who already possesses all you need and can restore harmony without tearing apart the field. By assuming a settled state—knowing your boundaries protect you and others, choosing understanding over retaliation—you birth a just resolution from inner illumination. When you dwell in this revised consciousness, anger cools, discernment rises, and true righteousness manifests as inner justice shaping outward reality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and picture your inner field; declare, I AM the boundary that protects peace. See Joab approaching with questions, Absalom seeking understanding, and feel harmony already real in your consciousness.
