Inner Vow, Inner Echo
Judges 11:34-36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jephthah returns home to his vow's consequence: his daughter, his only child, meets him with celebration, and he laments that the vow to the LORD cannot be undone even as he grieves the personal cost.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner temple, the drama reveals how a vow spoken in the heat of decision binds your outer world to an imagined result. Jephthah’s daughter becomes not a literal fate but a symbol of your own creative power—the impulse that seeks expression when a boundary is spoken. In Neville’s psychology, God is the I AM, the awareness that animates every scene. The moment you identify with a vow or a future outcome, you imprison your energy in a storyline of lack or tragedy. Yet the I AM is free of time; it simply is, and imagination creates the scenes you accept as real. To transform the drama, revise the vow in your imagination so that your state of consciousness governs, not a spoken command. Return to the truth that your inner awareness, not external events, gives meaning to every appearance. Restate the commitment as alignment with the divine will now, and feel the release that follows when you recognize you are the author of your life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the vow as an inner alignment with the I AM. Then feel the release as you imagine the outcome already fulfilled in your awareness.
