Inner Law Of Life
Exodus 20:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses set four simple prohibitions: do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the kingdom of your mind, these commands are not external rules but inner movements of consciousness. 'Killing' manifests as the belief that another's life is separate from your own, a withholding of life from your neighbor in thought. 'Adultery' signals a split between how you feel and how you act—an untrue alignment between your inner I AM and your outward deeds. 'Stealing' arises when you claim lack or fortune belongs to you alone, denying the abundance already given by your awareness. 'Bearing false witness' is the habit of distorting reality through judgment, projection, and fearful stories about another. Each prohibition asks you to reclaim the living truth that you create by your state of consciousness. See that your neighbor is the same I AM in disguise, and by assuming the feeling of wholeness, you revise the world you experience. The moment you refuse the old tale and rest in the I AM, the law becomes a luminous invitation to inner harmony.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and repeat, 'I am the I AM; I choose life, fidelity, integrity, and truth in every relation.' Then visualize a situation where you felt harmed, and revise it by mentally affirming abundance, faithful communication, rightful boundaries, and clear truth, feeling it real in your chest.
