Inner Witness, Honest Truth
Deuteronomy 5:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 5:20 commands truthful speech and not bearing false witness against a neighbor; it anchors integrity in how you speak and think of others.
Neville's Inner Vision
All together: This injunction reveals that every neighbor you meet is a state of consciousness within you. To bear false witness against another is to misread your own inner world, labeling a temperament, a flaw, or a moment as fixed and real. In Neville's terms, God is the I AM, and imagination is the instrument by which you sketch your life. When you judge another as lacking, you are projecting lack into your own experience and confirming a divided self. The truth is that you are always witnessing your inner state, and the outer scene simply reflects your inner verdict. The commandment is a call to keep your inner speech aligned with integrity, so that your life follows the truth you cherish. By choosing to affirm honesty within, you awaken a consistent outer world that mirrors your settled conviction. Practice this binding: assume the truth you desire about others, revise any negative label, and feel it real through an unshakable conviction in your I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the truth you desire about others and revise any negative label. Feel it as already real by affirming your I AM and the innocence of all involved.
