The Release Within
Deuteronomy 15:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 15:3 contrasts debt treatment between a brother and a foreigner: you may collect from the foreigner, but you must release what you owe to your brother. It emphasizes mercy, justice, and love of neighbor.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text I hear two states: the foreigner and the brother as inner dispositions. The law says you may exact from the foreigner, but you release what is thine with thy brother. Yet in the sanctuary of my own consciousness there is only I AM, the undivided governor of every movement. When I assume that I release debts toward my brethren, I release the sense of separation that creates limitation. Forgiveness, in this sense, is not neglect but the turning of energy from constraint to abundance. The so-called debt between people is a memory of separation; by assuming completion with those who share my inner life, I re-script the drama. As I persist in the feeling that I have already forgiven and released, the energy of lack drains away and creative power flows, transforming circumstances to reflect mercy and unity. In this way, true justice arises as I dwell in the consciousness that forgives, knowing that all others are aspects of the same I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, and in inner imagination, meet your 'brother' and declare, 'I release you and all debt of grievance between us.' Feel the relief of release flood your chest, and imagine abundance flowing where there was lack.
