Read Judges 14 in context

Scripture Focus

17And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

Judges 14:17

Biblical Context

During a seven-day feast, a woman weeps before Samson; on the seventh day, under his pressure, he reveals the riddle and she passes it to her people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 14:17 is not a history lesson about a thing but a psalm about your inner weather. The seven days of weeping symbolize the steady momentum of a state of consciousness under the eager gaze of the world; when the moment ripens, the inner movement speaks, and the outer world records it as disclosure. The riddle you carry is not a puzzle to be solved by others but a belief you have named as true; when you give it voice to your 'people'—your mental circles or social mirrors—it becomes visible in your life. In Neville’s terms, this scene is the law in action: what you hold emotionally and imaginatively will press outward as events and words. If fear or desire to belong dominates you, disclosure arrives as a cascade of confirmation. If you seek harmony, you revise by assuming the presence of your desired state already real and chosen, and you tend the inner climate accordingly. The remedy is simple: govern your inner state with the I AM and let the feeling of that truth inform every outward gesture.

Practice This Now

Tonight, close your eyes and assume the state: I am the I AM, revealing only what serves my unity; feel it real. Then imagine sharing your inner riddle with a trusted circle and feel your sense of wholeness remain, regardless of their reply.
