Hatred as Inner Murder: 1 John 3:15

1 John 3:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 John 3 in context

Scripture Focus

15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 3:15

Biblical Context

1 John 3:15 states that hatred for a brother is murder, and a murderer cannot have eternal life dwelling in them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Hatred is not a deed only; it is a mentally held state that poisons the entire being. In the Neville lens, the 'brother' you hate is an image reflected in your own I AM, the conscious awareness you possess. To hate is to bank on separation, and separation is the dream that blocks eternal life—the life that you are in your most intimate awareness. You do not possess life separately; life is the inner vibration of your consciousness. When you entertain hatred, you are investing in a future where God’s life cannot live through you. The remedy is not to punish the other, but to revise your assumption about who you are and what your world is. Change the scene in your mind and your world changes. Imagine loving the brother in the moment, know that you are the same I AM seeing through him, and feel the reality of that unity. Hatred dissolves when you assume the presence of life, unity, and forgiveness within your own being. The eternal life is already yours as awareness; you merely align with it by stopping the story of separation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm, 'I AM love toward [brother].' See him in your mind’s eye as a facet of your own I AM, and feel the warm, forgiving sensation as if eternal life is blooming within.
