Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 6:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

22And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

2 Samuel 6:22

Biblical Context

David declares he will be more vile in his own sight and accept honor from those the world deems low. The inner message invites us to shift our identity from pride to the I AM's valuation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the outer gesture of humility mirrors an inner conversion. 'I will yet be more vile in mine own sight' signals the voluntary collapse of the ego's grand self-view. The maidservants symbolize inner attendants—those quiet virtues that honor the revised self when the heart aligns with God-consciousness. The I AM does not seek worldly praise; it confirms a new self-image formed by imagination. By willing to be seen as vile by the old self and to be honored by these intimate inner voices, you open the door to a larger recognition that is ever-present within. The transformation occurs in consciousness: the world reflects the inner state you have assumed, and true power rests in the quality of awareness you choose here and now.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner stance: 'I am now seen as vile by the old self, yet honored by the quiet maidservants of my being.' Spend 5 minutes imagining the I AM crowning you with inward, humble honor as you repeat brief affirmations.
