Neville Goddard on Amos 6:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 6 in context

Scripture Focus

13Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

Amos 6:13

Biblical Context

The verse condemns boasting in empty things and in personal strength, exposing pride in one’s own power rather than true obedience. It calls attention to the illusion of external security and the need for inner alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a state of consciousness, the boast about taking horns by our own strength is not a national victory but a misidentification of self. The thing of nought stands for any outward symbol you cling to as power—money, status, reputation. When you identify with such symbols, you empower the ego and imagine strength stems from you alone. Neville's method teaches that power belongs to the I AM, the awareness that animates every image. To reinterpret this verse, revise the assumption: power is within, I AM that power; let the feeling of that I AM real permeate your body until it returns as outward form. In imagination, you choose a scene as you wish fulfilled, but feel the source inside you, not in horns or external victories. As you dwell in this inner state, pride dissolves into humility and obedience to the inner law you are, and external results align with that faithful, centered consciousness. The horned boast collapses, replaced by a quiet radiance of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and repeat I AM as the source of all power. Revise the boast, feel the inner strength as real now, and observe your outward life responding to that inner state.
