Inner Pillars, Deliverance
Judges 16:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Samson grips the two central pillars, collapses the house, and dies with the Philistines; the result is a liberation born from self-sacrifice, with more released than harmed.
Neville's Inner Vision
Forget the literal walls; see the two pillars as the inner convictions you lean on to keep your world standing. When Samson says, 'Let me die with the Philistines,' he is not seeking death but submitting to the inner law that the old self must fall for a greater life to rise. Your mind is a house built by fear of limitation; the lords and the people are the judgments and habits that keep you imprisoned. By taking hold of the pillars with both hands, the conscious I AM anchors itself in the present moment, and the structure shakes not to destroy you, but to reveal the truth that you are above the wreckage. The explosion of the house is the release of those mental enemies—doubt, resentment, habit—that have governed you. The verse says the dead you slew at your death were more than those in life; in Neville’s reading this is the release of all former identification in the crisis of a new state. When you stand and bow with all your might, you are simply aligning with the one power that holds all: awareness, the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively assume the feeling of the I AM standing at the two pillars of your life; declare silently, 'I am the power that holds these up.' Then picture the house trembling and collapsing, and dwell in the feeling of freedom as if it is already accomplished.
