Exodus 21:25 Inner Law of Imagination
Exodus 21:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 21:25 presents a measure-for-measure principle, signaling that justice in life reflects inner cause. It invites us to read the law as an inner mechanism of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard lens, the words 'burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe' reveal not external sanctions but the keen economy of the I AM. The verse speaks of a justice that is already written in the heart: every thought, feeling, and reaction returns as an inner drama you experience as life. If you are burning with anger, lack, or grievance, you are simply narrating a scene your imagination has accepted as true; if you are wounded by fear or betrayal, you have rehearsed a wound you now call your own. The 'stripe' you fear is the discipline you levy upon yourself in imagination, drawing consequences that feel like punishment. The remedy is not in pleading with a distant judge, but in the practice of revision: assume you are the I AM, the source, and rewrite the scene with a new feeling of wholeness. See the person, issue, or memory dissolving into a calm, healed present, and declare, 'I am the cause, I am the effect, and I choose peace.'
Practice This Now
Impose the revision right now: sit quietly, close your eyes, breathe in, and imagine a scene where you are untouched by the 'burning' or 'wound'—you are whole. Then affirm, with feeling, 'I am the cause and the effect; I choose harmony now.'
