Inner Truth and Desire
Exodus 20:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage commands honesty toward others and forbids coveting what belongs to another. It invites you to discover the inner motives—desire, envy, attachment—that birth misdeeds.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the outer injunction is not mere law but a mirror of your inner economy. When you declare 'I am' as the sole reality, the pictures you bear about neighbors and their possessions reveal your own state of consciousness. To bear false witness is not simply to lie with the lips, but to mis-state your experience through fear or projection. Coveting another’s house, spouse, or cattle is the inner insistence that you are in lack and separate from the Source. In truth, all you seek already exists in your awareness as a completed possibility. The commandment asks you to return to the integrity of your I AM, to stop clinging to objects as if they define you, and to bless what you see in others as a reflection of your own potency. Align your imagination with truth, not with scarcity or envy, and you will awaken the kingdom within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state of truth now—imagine that you already possess all that you truly desire because you are the I AM. Feel it-real by blessing others and releasing envy, then observe your outer world aligning with that inner state.
