Biblical Context
Judges 15:6 describes how Samson's act of taking a wife and giving her to his companion leads to the Philistines burning the wife and her father. The text centers on the fallout of personal choices and external judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Judges 15:6, in Neville's reading, is a drama of the inner world. The Philistines cry, 'Who hath done this?' and the answer points to Samson, the son-in-law who gave his wife to his companion. Yet the true stage is your own consciousness. The wife and her father are inner qualities—trust, life, and belonging—visible as if they were persons. Samson represents the I AM choosing a path that seems to sever and bind at once. When I, as the I AM, fragment my loyalties—giving a sacred inner thing to a transient craving—the outer world will reflect a burning of the old order. The fire is inner purging, not punishment, revealing what is truly aligned with unity. The resolution comes when I refuse to project blame, and instead claim responsibility for every appearance. By reimagining the scene as the movement of awareness toward harmony, the 'Philistines' dissolve into the light of clarity, and the family of consciousness is restored to wholeness. In that calm, the I AM stands free, and all appearances bend to the will of integrated perception.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the cause and unity of all appearances.' Visualize the scene as a formation of inner qualities aligning, letting the fiery trial dissolve into light and bring harmony to your consciousness.
