Inner Reign and the Vow
2 Samuel 15:7-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Absalom asks the king for permission to fulfill a vow in Hebron after vowing in Geshur; the king grants it. He travels to Hebron and then deploys spies to spread the claim that he reigns.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the vow, the journey, and the trumpet are all inner movements of consciousness. The vow is a decision impressed on the imagination; Hebron is the inner throne where you imagine yourself crowned. The king’s casual grant—Go in peace—reflects your willingness to accept an idea you have entertained. When Absalom later sends spies, the mind broadcasts the image of your reign through all the tribes of belief, calibrating every circumstance to confirm your assumed state. The danger is not in the vow itself but in what you make it serve: a craving for outer recognition rather than a living alignment with the I AM. In Neville’s terms, God is the I AM within you, the awareness that never changes. To use this scene for awakening, revise the vow so it serves the inner Lord—your true sovereignty—rather than an egoic claim. Feel the reality now: imagine you reign from the inner throne, and let every outward sign reflect the certainty that the kingdom is already yours in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: close your eyes and declare, I reign now from the throne of my heart. Revise any vow to serve the Highest, and feel it real as your inner reality.
