Inner Worship and Alignment
2 Samuel 6:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David and all Israel play before the LORD with many instruments; at Nachon's threshing floor Uzzah touches the ark and is struck down for his error.
Neville's Inner Vision
To view this scene as a reflection of inner life, imagine the ark as the I AM seated within you, the unwavering awareness that never leaves its throne. The outward music is your inner choir—thoughts and feelings you entertain as you approach the holy presence. The oxen that shake the cart symbolize the tremors of fear and desire that threaten your balance; they demand your attention, but your focus must remain on the inner throne. Uzzah's gesture to steady what is moving is the old habit of gripping outcomes, a posture that assumes you can preserve holiness by force. When the LORD's anger is kindled, hear it as your own inner correction: a reminder that holiness cannot be manufactured by devices of control. The threshing floor of Nachon marks a threshold of consciousness where reverence must be chosen over mere performance. The outcome—the striking—signifies releasing the old self that clings to external results. If you birth the scene within, you awaken to the truth that the I AM governs and the outer pageantry becomes a radiant expression of inner alignment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and place the ark of your I AM at the center of your awareness; feel the music as alignment. When you sense a tremor, revise the impulse to grip or force outcomes, and silently affirm, I am aligned with the I AM.
