Neville Goddard on Judges 14:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 14 in context

Scripture Focus

8And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

9And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

Judges 14:8-9

Biblical Context

Samson returns to the betrothed, finds honey in the lion’s carcass, takes some, and shares it with his parents. He does not tell them that the honey came from that carcass.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the inner scripture: the outer text is a mirror of your inward state. The lion’s carcass is the dead form of a once-strong impulse, now seen through awareness. The bees and honey show that sweetness can spring from what you have allowed to die within you when you refuse to feed the old appetite. The honey is the realized idea, nourishment you bring back into the house of life. When Samson offers it to his parents, he illustrates how the fruits of inner victory feed the outer world—the family, the guidance you give, the sense of care you share. He conceals the source, exposing a quiet truth: the seed of your inner work need not be explained to everyone; the fruit speaks loud enough. Providence—your I AM—moves through revision: turning decay into value, fear into gratitude, limitation into abundance. Your task is to inhabit that awareness now: envision the old impulse dying and the new insight nourishing you and all whom you love.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: the old impulse has died and a nourishing idea now flows. Then imagine sharing its fruit with your loved ones, without explaining the origin.
