Neville Goddard on Psalms 2:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

Psalms 2:1-4

Biblical Context

The psalm asks why nations rage against God and his anointed, but the outer scene mirrors an inner clash of thoughts resisting divine order. In plain terms, the verse points to a conflict that is resolved by recognizing the I AM as king.

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage speaks to your inner life: the heathen and the kings are the restless thoughts of doubt and limitation imagining separation from the I AM. The anointed represents your true self, the inner kingship seeking to govern your experience with divine order. God’s laughter from the heavens is the recognition that these outward storms are mental images that can be revised. By inhabiting the state of the ruler—firm, expansive awareness—you dissolve the bands of limitation and the cords of fear. The Kingdom of God is not distant; it is the immediate awareness you cultivate by believing that you are eternally supported, guided, and free from bondage. When you practice from this inner throne, the outer rebellion loses its grip, and the derision of circumstance becomes a playful nudge toward alignment with your higher self.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the I AM now, feel it real as you sit on an inner throne; revise any contrary thought and let the imagined authority dissolve the cords of limitation.
