Tower of Inner Awareness

Judges 9:50-53 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 9 in context

Scripture Focus

50Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
51But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
52And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.
Judges 9:50-53

Biblical Context

Abimelech besieges Thebez, and a strong tower within the city provides refuge for its people. He attempts to burn the tower, but a woman casts a millstone that mortally wounds him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Abimelech not as an external conqueror but as a stubborn belief of power within your own mind. Thebez’s tower is the fortress of a false self, a mental organism convinced that control equals life. When Abimelech attacks the tower, you feel the urge to destroy the fortress of fear by force. The woman who drops the millstone represents a sudden, lucid principle of truth breaking through that egoic structure—an inner revision that exposes the fragility of forced dominion. The skull-breaking blow signifies the death of the old king in you—the tyrant of coercion and dependency—by a simple act of inner recognition. In Neville’s terms, the I AM, your core consciousness, awakens as you recognize you are the creator of every event in your life. The outer siege gives way to inner authority, not by fighting others, but by revising your sense of self from bondage to liberation. The true kingdom emerges when your awareness claims the crown and lets go of force.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume, 'I AM the ruler of this mind.' Visualize a millstone of insight dropping onto the old Abimelech within you, dissolving his power, and feel the tower dissolve into quiet, empowered awareness.
