The Inner Oracle Session
2 Samuel 16:20-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Absalom seeks counsel; Ahithophel counsels publicly dishonoring his father to prove power, so all Israel will witness the shift; the plan is described as if it were the oracle of God.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene, Absalom represents a rebellious image within you pressing for control, while Ahithophel embodies a crafty thought-form that presents a bold strategy. The tent on the roof is the elevated theater of your imagination where inner policies are rehearsed for every faculty to see. When the counsel says to publicly overturn the old order, it mirrors how a powerful inner image can appear to command reality, making the new state feel divinely sanctioned. Neville teaches that such impressions are states of consciousness, not external facts. The crucial move is to observe the impulse without surrendering to it, remembering that you are the I AM, the watcher who can revise the scene. By choosing a different state—oneness, harmony, and rightful order—you dissolve the sense of rebellion and invite a new inner government that serves all parts of you. The world you experience follows the inner decree you finally accept as true.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly and declare, I am the I AM, sovereign of my inner house. Visualize the roof-scene softening into a unified field where all inner faculties bow to the new order of harmony and peace.
