Embrace The Stranger Within
Deuteronomy 10:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 10:19 commands loving the stranger because you were strangers in Egypt; it anchors mercy and hospitality in the memory of hardship and shared humanity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Like all commandment, this verse points not to outward policy alone but to an inner disposition. Love for the stranger is the recognition that the other person is a symbol of a part of you that once felt exile and hunger—Egypt is the memory of limitation you once wore as a veil. When you dwell in the I AM, you discover that your awareness has no border; to love the stranger is to love the hidden self that appears as difference. By imagining the other as a neighbor, you are not performing charity from pity but awakening a state of consciousness where unity is your natural state. The feeling of separation dissolves as you insist that 'you and I are one' within the mind’s field. The law of assumption says: assume harmony now, see the other as kin, and your outer world shifts to reflect the inner accord. So the stranger becomes a mirror of your own awakened compassion, and mercy flows as a constant expression of your true identity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the stranger entering an inner room of your mind as a welcomed guest. Revise any sense of separation, and feel it real that I AM within you is the same I AM within all others.
