Neville Goddard on Galatians 5:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Galatians 5:14

Biblical Context

Paul’s message reduces the law to a single directive. Love your neighbor as yourself, and in this, the whole code is fulfilled.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine this verse as a doorway into a state of consciousness. The neighbor you must love is not a distant command but a mirror of your inner attitude. If you dwell in judgment or fear, you are rehearsing a dream of separation; if you assume love as the reality you live in now, you align with the I AM within you and the world adjusts to that claim. In Neville’s terms, the law is fulfilled not by tedious observance but by the quality of your inner atmosphere. When you imagine the other as a fellow expression of the same life, you remove the sense of otherness and you become the keeper and the kept of the law. Your imagination acts as the chef of your destiny: you envision the neighbor with dignity, you treat them with kindness, you feel toward them the same tenderness you wish to feel for yourself, and that feeling-turned-reality changes how you act. Obedience becomes natural harmony rather than compulsion, and the external rules fade into meaning as you rest in the unity of consciousness that is love.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling now that you already love your neighbor as yourself. Visualize a simple exchange with them and feel the oneness until this inner state colors your actions.
