Gate of Inner Justice
2 Samuel 15:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Absalom stands by the gate, telling petitioners that the king has no one to hear them, and he longs to be the judge who would give justice. The scene reveals the lure to control outcomes by claiming rightful justice.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how Absalom's posture mirrors a state of consciousness that believes it can issue justice from without, while the true judge sits within as the I AM. The gate is the threshold where decisions and stories about right and wrong are born. When he says, 'thy matters are good and right, but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee,' he is confessing a perceived absence of inner hearing—the belief that justice depends on an external authority. Your own life repeats this drama whenever you feel unfinished conditions require an outside verdict. The remedy is to revise that assumption: imagine the inner court seated in you—your I AM—who truly hears, understands, and settles every case with perfect fairness. To assume this state is to acknowledge that your kingdom is within, not in courts or rulers. The wish to be 'made judge' dissolves as you realize you already are the receiver and administrator of divine justice through your own imagination. By keeping faith with the inner hearing, you refuse to be moved by appearances and align with the enduring reality that your consciousness is the law that creates experience.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the state: I am the judge within, hearing every case with perfect justice. Feel this as real now, and let the outer scenes align to your inner decree.
